Pendulum Wall Clock Kit – DIY Wooden Assembly | AnalogMaker

The Robotime Rokr Pendulum Clock Kit builds into a working pendulum wall clock — a DIY build that results in a functional, swinging-pendulum timepiece you can display permanently on any wall.

The pendulum mechanism keeps steady time while the visible swing of the pendulum gives the finished piece an old-world character that solid-body clocks can't replicate. A satisfying build with a result that earns its place on the wall.

Technical Specifications

What's in the box

This is a working clock kit. The box holds pre-cut wooden parts, the quartz clock movement, hands and the instruction sheet — you build the case and fit the mechanism yourself.

Before you start

• Glue and batteries are not in the box (shipping rules), so get them first.
• Ages 14+ recommended — small parts, fine detail.
• Dry-fit each section before you commit with glue.

FAQ

Do I need glue, batteries or tools? Glue and batteries aren't included because they can't be shipped by air. You'll want craft glue (or wood glue) and no batteries for this model. A small craft knife and tweezers help with the finer pieces.

How big is it when finished? It's designed to sit on a standard bookshelf between your books — roughly the footprint of a hardback, so measure your gap first.

Is it beginner friendly? Yes, if you can follow an illustrated manual. It's a satisfying step up from the smallest kits: more pieces, more detail, but no special skills or tools needed.

How long does it take? Plan on a few evenings — roughly 6–12 hours depending on how fussy you are with the details. Many builders split it across a weekend.

Does the clock actually work? Yes — the kit includes a quartz movement, so once it's built and fitted with a battery it keeps time like a normal clock.

Does it come with lights? No built-in lighting in this kit. If you want it lit, a short battery LED strip fits neatly behind the finished build.
