My Lemnos Clock doesn't work anymore. What should I do?Check if the clock's battery has depleted by changing to a new battery. The normal lifespan of the battery for a clock is typically between 6 months to 1 year. When a clock stops working it usually is time to change the battery.
-
My Lemnos Clock's part is damaged, can you send me a replacement part?Lemnos Clocks' parts are proprietary and are not available for purchase or can be replaced. Please be careful with your Lemnos Clock when adjusting time (by performing this task slowly) without damaging the clock movement or parts which may be delicately connected to the clock body.
-
I bought my Lemnos Clock from Japan, but it does not work here. Why?Lemnos Clocks in North America are made for the North American market and may be different from what are available in Japan. Specifically, Japan uses a radio-controlled clock movement that receives a Japan-only radio signal, rendering the Clock non-workable outside of Japan. There is no manual way to set a Japanese radio-controlled Lemnos Clock. Additionally, please be advised cross-border purchases do not have warranty and customer service outside of the country of purchase.
-
I still have an issue with my Lemnos Clock (Wall, Alarm, Cuckoo).Please visit Warranty Information for product replacement information and use the Customer Service contact form and send us a message detailing the issue you are experiencing with your Lemnos Clock. Please be sure to include a copy of your original Proof of Purchase along with your message.
-
I bought my Lemnos Clock on Amazon and eBay. What should I know?Lemnos products offered by third party sellers on Amazon, eBay, and other online shopping platforms that allow third party sellers are not authenticated. The origin of the merchandise is not verified and the product images, information, and specifications of these product listings on these websites are not created, validated, or approved by Lemnos. As a result, there are no express or implied warranty or after-sale services from Lemnos for these purchases. Additionally, recently, incidences of counterfeited Lemnos products have been reported. If you have questions pertaining to these purchases or need after-sales services performed, please contact the point-of-purchase.

What is the story behind the name Lemnos? I know it is a Greek island in the northern Aegean Sea.When the founder of Lemnos, Mr. Hiroshi Takata traveled to Europe he visited the Greek island Lemnos and fell in love with the beauty and tranquility of this island. In Greek mythology it is also the island where Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire and blacksmiths established a copper workshop and taught the residents of the island the secret techniques of metal carving, forging, and casting. Lemnos was first started in 1947 as a metal craft manufacturer for Buddhist altar fittings. The Toyama Prefecture of Japan, where Lemnos' headquarter and factories are based, is also known for metalworks and woodcrafts that can trace their tradition back hundreds of years. Thus Mr. Takata chose his brand's name as Lemnos.
-
Is there a particular way I should set the time on my Clock?You should always move the clock hands clockwise. Changing the time counter-clockwise may damage the clock movement.
-
How many different kinds of clocks does Lemnos make?At the moment, there are over 300 different models (including different colors) of Lemnos Clocks. They are available spread out in our Authorized Retailers' catalogs.
-
I don't see the Lemnos Logo anywhere on my clock. Why is that?Lemnos Clocks are design clocks made in collaboration with designers. Therefore the designs come first and if after the design process a logo is not added we respect such decision and will create the timepiece as such. Additionally, this is how a Lemnos Clock can be a design art piece for any space. A customer can have multiple Lemnos timepieces in his or her home or office and enjoy simply the presence and the beauty of the designs as they are.
