Order information
Every clock or clock kit is made to order in limited batches. Whether you are choosing the 12 second, the 20 second or 30 second versions, each Rolling ball clock is available in either 18k gold or plain brass, with the option of being supplied fully built or as a fully machined self assembly kit. Occasionally we hold some stock; however, generally the lead time for delivery will be based on where we are on the current production run. This can be anywhere from 1 month to 3 months for delivery. Should you need your clock or your clock kit quicker, perhaps for a birthday or special occasion, then please contact us and we will do our very best to accommodate you.
Details
What better gift to yourself or a loved one than giving the gift of time! Whether buying your clock built or as a kit, once set up and running, seeing and hearing the ball travel down the tray for 12 seconds is both compelling and hypnotic. Although never originally designed as great timekeepers, they are interesting to watch, make an amazing talking point and are wonderful display items that look amazing in any home or office.
Kit contents and build
All clocks and clock kits are fully machined. They come in either plain brass or 18k gold plated. A full set of assembly instructions is supplied, along with a small screwdriver, an oiling needle, some clock oil, plus a ball and winding key. No machine tools or previous clock-building experience is required.
Included as standard
Each clock supplied is uniquely numbered, includes a Kits4Clocks name plate and comes complete with a standard base (no drawer) and surrounding case.
Plain brass disclaimer
Please note: The plain brass clock is designed to be built as plain brass. Although some parts can be ‘self polished’, the main workings of the clock come pre-assembled for accuracy, and taking this apart to polish voids the warranty. Should you want a highly polished clock, then the 18k gold version is the option to choose.

I purchased this as a gift for my partners birthday. What a great product! he absolutely loves it.
He assembled in approx. 6-7 hours, the instructions were easy to follow and the parts are very high quality.
Good communication from the seller, as I needed the item quite quickly they expedited my order and it was delivered as promised. The clock looks fantastic in our study, very elegant 5* all round, highly recommend!!
It was hard to rate the durability as only had it for a few weeks now but the finished clock has a strong, reliable feel to it, much more robust than I expected from a kit, it feels built to last.

Have just taken delivery of the 12 second Rolling Ball Clock. It is most impressive in all respects – right down to the quality of the packaging , and the communications with Dean. The clock is working perfectly and attracting a lot of attention from all who see it.

The kit arrived in good time and the instructions were easy to follow. Once assembled, the clock is a joy to watch right from the word go. In the first few days it does take a bit of tweaking to ensure it can keep running but then works well
