Albert Clock Made in Germany
3 years after outsourcing for money-saving, we have decided to manufacture on our own. A big step for us and for our clients, aiming on a much higher price. The new product is more defined, with a very crisp display and material finishes. We hope you will be able to judge by yourself soon.
MATERIAL CHOICE
Playing with materials. LEDs in 3500k, 4000k, 4500k, different acrylics suppliers, walnut and maple wood as a final choice.
