LEGO BOOST Clock

A working LEGO analog clock with two hands, built with LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox 17101

Tick-tock goes the LEGO clock!

One night I was suddenly awaken by a loud noise. I zipped to my living room only to find that our porcelain clock fell off the wall and was smashed on the floor to smithereens. Glueing it back together? Buying another one? I’d rather build a new one using LEGO! And here it is, my LEGO BOOST Analog Clock, a simple yet useful model. Built with the LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox 17101, this clock is precise to the second thanks to the Pybricks on-board program that controls the movement of the hands to the millisecond. As an alternative, you can use the Powered Up App to program it, but you will loose its incredible precision and the possibility of having it running independently from any smart device.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Hands-on Time: Two moving hands crafted from your favorite building blocks.
  • Advanced software: Program it with the LEGO Powered Up app or go full geek mode with Pybricks. No more excuses for being late!
  • Independent Function: Runs all on its own, just like your granpa’s favorite mechanical pendulum clock.

Perfect for the kid at heart, the tech enthusiast, and anyone who’s ever dreamt of making time with LEGO. Because why settle for boring old clocks when you can build your own? Ready to make time fun? Snap up your LEGO BOOST Analog Clock today!
