Twenty hours, three CNC machines, one wheel clock
Every TIQOSS clock takes roughly 20 hours of work spread across our workshop. Here's what those hours look like.
01 — Wheel selection
Every wheel begins as a real forged OEM rim. We inspect for cracks, corrosion, and structural integrity before any rim earns a SKU. Wheels that don't pass go to recycling. We never use replicas, castings or aftermarket copies.
02 — CNC hub machining
The wheel hub — designed for a 5-bolt axle — has to be CNC-machined to host the silent quartz movement, ceramic bearings, and the carbon fiber hand spindle. Tolerance: ±0.05 mm. Anything looser and the second hand rubs.
03 — Hand finishing
Spokes are degreased, lightly bead-blasted, and clear-coated to halt oxidation. Where original paint is intact, we preserve it — every wheel keeps the marks of the car it came from. Where rework is needed, we colour-match by hand.
04 — Carbon fiber hands
Hands are CNC-cut from forged carbon fiber sheet stock — the same material used in motorsport bodywork. Each hand is balanced on a knife edge before painting. Custom colour matches use RAL or Pantone codes you provide.
05 — Movement & assembly
We use a German silent-sweep quartz movement — accurate to ±15 seconds per month, runs on a single AA battery for 18 months. Ceramic bearings keep the load smooth. The hands are fitted last; the clock is set, photographed, signed, and crated.
06 — Quality check & packaging
Every clock runs for 24 hours under observation before it ships. Then a custom plywood crate, foam inserts, and shock-detection labels. Insured shipping with tracked DHL or UPS — depending on destination.
