And that in many languages. The unique concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/qlocktwo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QlockTwo<\/a> was conceived by German designers Andreas Funk and Marco Biegert of studio Biegert &amp; Funk. A short interview.<\/strong><\/p><p><em><strong>Text: Gerben Bijpost<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p><strong>Qlocktwo's wall clocks and watches are -until now- always square. Can we expect other shapes in the near future? <\/strong><\/p><p><em>Biegert<\/em>: The square shape is an elementary part of what Qlocktwo <a href=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/en\/2021\/12\/23\/qlocktwo-rediscovers-the-stone-age\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unique<\/a> makes. It forms a strong visual contrast with other clocks. For our core products, that square shape will therefore always be an essential element of the DNA.<\/p><p><strong>You play with the colours, materials and sizes of the Qlocktwo concept to keep it fresh and relevant. But how do you recognise the moment when an existing design needs to be modernised to remain successful?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Funk<\/em>: Qlocktwo does not chase trends. The rhythm of time in today's world is becoming increasingly fragmented. These days, it is all about seconds and fractions of seconds in which actions take place that demand our attention. Evolutionarily, humans are not suited to function in such short periods of time. We want people to escape these fast-moving environments of today and experience a moment of true awareness. Anything that craftily supports this idea of timelessness could be part of our objects in the future.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_15513\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15513\" style=\"width: 788px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15513 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-610x610.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-450x450.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-1200x1200.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_TOUCH_CE_RUST_frontal_NL_30x30_print-336x336.jpeg 336w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15513\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">QlockTwo clocks in <a href=\"https:\/\/hourlux.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">many sizes and designs<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><p><strong>The Qlocktwo concept is available in many languages. Is it suitable for every language?<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Biegert<\/em>: For us, it is interesting to see how time can be represented in so many languages and dialects within the Qlocktwo matrix. Whenever we felt we had reached a limit, the languages we looked at turned out to have alternative ways of representing time. For example, in Turkish, saying 'it is five to five' or 'it is five past five' changes the ending of the word 'five' from 'be\u015fe' to 'be\u015fi'. So, as you can see, making a matrix also requires a thorough knowledge of the language. But so far, we have managed to solve all the challenges we encountered.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_15512\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15512\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15512 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_W35_BLACK_STEEL_LeatherBlack_frontal_NL_web.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_W35_BLACK_STEEL_LeatherBlack_frontal_NL_web.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_W35_BLACK_STEEL_LeatherBlack_frontal_NL_web-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_W35_BLACK_STEEL_LeatherBlack_frontal_NL_web-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_W35_BLACK_STEEL_LeatherBlack_frontal_NL_web-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_W35_BLACK_STEEL_LeatherBlack_frontal_NL_web-610x610.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_W35_BLACK_STEEL_LeatherBlack_frontal_NL_web-450x450.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_W35_BLACK_STEEL_LeatherBlack_frontal_NL_web-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/gentlemenswatch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/QLOCKTWO_W35_BLACK_STEEL_LeatherBlack_frontal_NL_web-336x336.jpeg 336w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The QlockTwo concept is also available for the wrist<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><strong>Apart from Qlocktwo, are you also involved in other designs? <\/strong><\/p><p><em>Funk<\/em>: Qlocktwo is actually a triptych, or a work of art made up of three parts.

Billions of people still benefit from his undisputed product design every day.<\/p><p><em>Funk<\/em>: There is no doubt about that.
