Time becomes an adventure with this beautifully crafted wooden learning clock

This enchanting Machinalirleur (learning clock) transforms the abstract concept of time into something children can see, touch, and understand. Crafted with Vilac's signature attention to detail, it features working gears and mechanisms that children can operate by hand, watching as the minute hand influences both the hour hand and the digital display.

The clever design includes a hidden digital dial that reveals the time when children lift a small flap, allowing them to check their analogue clock-reading against the digital equivalent. This immediate feedback builds confidence and understanding as they master this essential life skill.

The included quiz cards add an extra dimension to learning, providing structured activities that turn practice into play. Children can draw a card showing a time, set the hands accordingly, then lift the flap to see if they've got it right – or work the other way around, starting with the digital time and setting the analogue display to match.

Made by Vilac, the renowned French toy company that has been creating timeless wooden toys since 1911 in the heart of the Jura mountains. Built to withstand enthusiastic handling whilst maintaining the precision that makes learning possible.

Suitable for children 6 years and up.

Why we chose it

This clock is pure genius in its simplicity. Most learning clocks are static – you move the hands but nothing really happens. Here, children can see the mechanics at work through visible gears and cogs, making the connection between their actions and the result crystal clear.

What I particularly appreciate is how it bridges analogue and digital time naturally. The hidden digital display means children can self-check their work, building independence alongside understanding.
