PCB 

24h Wall Clock

with an LED RF detector

This Radio-Room Wall-Clock project represents my 2nd attempt to mix something "artistic" with Engineering. The first attempt was made with the Elegant PCB Ruler for which I am receiving many nice comments, thanks to all my friends who have appreciated the effort.

The story begins with the commercially available clocks for the radio-shack. I have bought a couple of them in the past for my own shack and I didn't like any of them really. The design was not attractive, they look "cheap" and they are cheap while sell expensive and as I am getting older in age that ticking noise gets annoying. So I have arranged with a factory in China to make it as quiet as possible with the ticking  movements on a special order and after I have came up with a dial design that I finally like it is time now to demonstrate the result. I am not ending here, I am preparing GPS disciplined clocks, synchronous clocks etc. please stay tuned on this website for more news shortly.

​

The clock's face plate has a small passive circuit printed that uses a dipole antenna connected to a double Schottky diode chip which is used to rectify the incoming RF energy to finally power a small LED. Similar to an "ON AIR" sign as seen in broadcasting stations, hopefully it will light up with every transmission getting out from the shack.  The small circuit takes the place of the commonly used space for a clock's brand name and since this project is not commercial, that exactly thing makes this clock unique, at least to the non clock expert. The 2 mm thick FR-4 PCB used with its 3-oz copper thickness and adding the gold-plating (ENIG) and the silkscreening makes a reallyexpensive clock dial, but it really shows elegant, unique and amazing and worths it's cost.

ORDERS For the Elegant PCB 24h Clock  

USD 49.90/ea Complete KIT - Dial only or Movement only available

The 24h clock KIT as described here contains a very high-quality ENIG FR4 PCB (216mm dia  x 2 mm) with 3-oz copper  and one quiet sweeping (no-ticking) 24h movement with second, minute and hour hands and ships with registered mail  (your signature is required upon delivery). I usually ship the next day and it takes about a week to 10 days for USA or Australia, less than a week for Europe.​
