"We are truly excited to be partnering with Biegert & Funk on this product," says Roland de Fries, Managing Partner of Hudson Vandam. "QLOCKTWO fits our philosophy of where we see ourselves and how we approach this market through design, elegance and modernity. This is a wonderful product and we are proud to be a partner in this."

QLOCKTWO, designed by Biegert & Funk, is made of a polished acrylic glass face with a lacquered body, and supported by eight magnets for an invisible seam. The clock describes the current time with no hands or numbers, but with lit words in statements like "It is ten past ten" or "It is half past two". Individual minutes are shown via white dots in the corners of the clock and the display can also be dimmed and adjusted to show a seconds timer. The clocks are handmade in Germany and are available in numerous languages and colors. The clocks will be sold online at www.hudsonvandam.com, luxury retail stores and hi-end catalogs.

"As teenagers, we came up with the idea: wouldn't it be great to have a clock that displays the time like people talk to each other . . . like 'it is half past nine' instead of 9:29:58," says Marco Biegert of Biegert & Funk. "What is unique is that even if you can read the time in words, there is a sort of clock face which already contains all required elements. It's like a friend that tells you the time. It slows you down and makes you feel relaxed."

QLOCKTWO is a German Design Award 2011 nominee, and has won such prestigious awards as Red Dot Product Design Award 2010, iF Product Design Award 2010, Art Directors Club of Europe / Gold Award, ADC Product Design Award 2010, Type Directors Club 2010, Focus Open Product Design Award 2009 & Focus Open Popular Vote Award 2009, and Good Design Product Award 2009.
