C4U uni-Wheel Hexagram-19 Clock

C4U uni-Wheel Hexagram-19 Clock

C4U uni-Wheel Hexagram-19 Clock is a Clock-type puzzle from Cube4You (C4U), a clock with dials and pins. Instead of the classic 3x3 grid, it has 19 dials arranged in the shape of a hexagram. This is a separate version, not just a different finish of the regular C4U Hexagram-19 Clock. The uni-Wheel designation refers to the layout of the wheels used to turn the dials. The model is available in purple (Purple).

How the Hexagram-19 Clock works

The principle is the same as in the classic Clock. You push in or pull out the pins, turn a wheel, and the dials connected at that moment change position along with it. The goal is to set all the hands to 12 o'clock. The difference is the scale. With 19 dials, a single move affects more elements, and the relationships between pins and dials are much less obvious than on a 3x3 clock. As a result, solving takes longer and feels more like working out a puzzle than executing a memorized algorithm.

What to watch out for

In large C4U clocks, one wheel moves quite a lot of gears at the same time. When several pins are pulled out, turning becomes noticeably heavier. In that case, it is better to turn calmly without forcing the mechanism. We also do not recommend taking the puzzle apart, as there are many small parts inside that are easy to lose. Putting them back together is not easy.

Who is it for?

For people who already know the regular Clock and are looking for something bigger, and for collectors of unusual puzzles. This is not a clock for competition practice. The Clock event in the WCA is held on the standard 3x3 clock, while the Hexagram-19 is for solving for fun and expanding your collection. For your first clock, a classic 3x3 model is a better choice, as it makes it easier to learn how the pins work.
