Rhythm’s “Timecracker 2000” encapsulates the energy of a blissful night at a carnival. It was released in 2000 as a part of a collection of limited edition Millennium models, with only 2,000 produced of each. It features a metallic silver frame and a dark black and blue interior with gold accents. It was also one of the two debut models in Rhythm’s best-selling Timecracker series of Magic Motion clocks. The “Timecracker 2000” was so popular that Rhythm would go on to release a non-exclusive version in 2001 called “Peaceful Cosmos,” and there is still a version of it produced to this day. At the top of the hour or when the demonstration button is pressed, the Earth-inspired dial comes to life and literally “cracks” into two pieces. The pieces rotate around the clock to reveal various hidden figurines beneath, until they meet again. Like the other original “Timecracker” models, the “Timecracker 2000” plays 6 popular melodies including “Unchained Melody” and “My Heart Will Go On” in Rhythm’s pleasant Dynamic Wave Sound (DWS). The decorative pendulum rotates continuously.
Notes: ”Timecracker 2000” would go on to be one of the most iconic American Rhythm clocks…it’s one of the best examples of what a Rhythm clock really is. The case on this one has definitely seen better days, as there are a few small scratches around as well as a small cluster of them on the bottom left. I have adjusted the price to reflect this, but the clock, motion, and music all work just like new. Watch the video for a demonstration, and let me know if you have any questions!
