We at build-yours
How It All Began
In February 2017, we built our first WordClock – back then still a basement project, developed entirely in our spare time alongside founder and tinkerer Frithjof Maschke’s full-time job. It was simply about proving what’s possible – and what can be achieved. About breaking away from everything old to create something truly brilliant.
We worked hard and built as many as we could. Then, in September, we exhibited our creations for the first time at a trade fair. … And wow, we were overwhelmed with interest!
Our goal isn’t just to keep up – we aim to lead the way and set the standard.
Just as TVs evolved through incredible innovation into app-controlled smart TVs with far more features and comfort, and our once bulky mobile phones transformed into powerful, design-driven classics that connect us to the world – and do so much more than just make calls…
Our wall clocks? Yes, exactly. It’s time to say goodbye to those clunky childhood timepieces and discover our philosophy. We’re breaking away from outdated clock clichés – and leading the charge.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, multi-core processors, online updates, app control, packed with never-before-seen features – and all of it built with sustainability in mind. That’s our WordClock Jupiter: the masterpiece that showcases all our talent and skill.
What our bestseller has in common with other clocks is hard to say.
We can’t really think of much it has in common with other clocks. But then again, creating a clock like every other was never our goal.
If you think a clock needs a mechanism, hands, a dial, or numbers – then we’re definitely not the brand for you. Our clock isn’t even round.
We didn’t care what others thought a clock should be. We focused entirely on comfort and design – and in doing so, discovered a whole new philosophy of timekeeping.
A wall clock shouldn’t just show the time clearly and precisely – it should also have a stunning design.
Our WordClock Jupiter is a true masterpiece, where we’ve poured all our talent and skill into one exceptional creation.
Imagine being able to customize your wall clock however you like. Slate look, white marble, brushed, laser-cut, folded, or engraved stainless steel – and plenty of other exciting finishes. All of this (and more) is possible.
The idea is simple: no one should have to commit to just one look. Our surfaces can be swapped in under 10 seconds – no tools required. You can change the style completely, anytime you want.
And the best part? We’ve kept prices as low as possible so you can easily switch up your clock’s appearance whenever the mood strikes.
The same goes for the lighting. Whether it’s neon green, warm red, calming blue, or a mix of colors – everything (and more) can be adjusted in our app, anytime.#
Our WordClock Jupiter embodies the fusion of exceptional design and advanced technology. It’s a true revolution in the world of timekeeping, ready to enrich your home or office with its beauty and functionality.
Dare to leave ordinary clocks behind and explore the endless possibilities of the WordClock Jupiter. Let its elegance and adaptability inspire you.
A brief history of WordClock
Our most important resource
Our most important resource is ourselves. Our team is made up of diverse individuals who bring together the best from around the world. What truly matters is that everyone can rely on one another without hesitation and shares a relentless drive to move the company forward.
There’s no fear of making mistakes here, nor of losing our place at the top. Every single team member gives their all – driven by the joy of winning.
No one is afraid to try something new, even if it doesn’t exist elsewhere or doesn’t seem necessary – because we’re already leading the way. But our will to keep pushing forward always wins.
Building sustainably
We’re a young team, so sustainability is naturally a core part of what we do. We support schools, kindergartens, and of course, students. We’ve even created a mini version of the WordClock that kids can assemble themselves in class – helping them learn about electronics, discover their strengths, and build self-confidence.
We’ve never profited from these initiatives; in fact, we’ve often covered the costs ourselves – especially in other countries. For us, sustainability also means reducing plastic wherever possible and crafting the entire inner structure of the clock from untreated wood – a rapidly renewable resource.
In partnership with DHL, we use their ECO shipping option to ensure the planet’s limited resources aren’t consumed too quickly or unnecessarily.
We’re genuinely happy you like our clock. And even if it sounds a little cheesy – knowing that the WordClock Jupiter is unboxed with a joyful smile means the world to us.
