QiYi Magnetic Clock – 2025 Green Limited Edition — emerald limited clock with a transparent body and flagship magnetic hardware

QiYi Magnetic Clock – 2025 Green Limited Edition is a special “Thousand Peaks Emerald” release of the legendary QiYi Magnetic Clock. It features a transparent emerald-green shell that reveals the internal magnetic gear system, while remaining fully WCA legal and ready for official competitions.

Just like the standard version, this clock is fully magnetic, using 204 small magnets in the gears and dials and 4 large magnets in the pins. All dials, pins and rings are magnetized, giving very precise alignment and a consistent, predictable turning feel that serious clock solvers rely on.

Production is strictly limited — about 1,200 units worldwide — which makes this edition appealing both as a main and as a display piece. The size is roughly 10 × 10 × 1.7 cm, with a weight of about 125 g, so it feels comfortable in the hand even during long practice sessions.

Who is QiYi Magnetic Clock – 2025 Green Limited Edition for

Recommended skill level:

• competitive solvers looking for a reliable WCA-legal main right out of the box;
• collectors who appreciate limited runs and unique colorways.

Design and magnetic system

• Fully magnetized (around 208 magnets) — 204 small magnets in the mechanism plus 4 large magnets in the pins provide precise alignment and a clear yet comfortable click.
• Transparent emerald design — one side has a see-through emerald finish that lets you watch the gears in motion, while the other side stays clean and competition-ready.
• Updated 2024/2025 magnet scheme — improves consistency so turning feels similar regardless of which pins are up or down.
• Adjustable tension — four corner screws allow you to fine-tune tightness to match your turning style; the clock can be opened carefully for lubrication and maintenance.
• Rounded wheels — dial edges are rounded to avoid scraping your fingers during fast turns.
• Limited production run — roughly 1,200 units globally, with no regular reprint planned, making it a genuinely rare edition.

Turning feel

• Smooth and controlled turning — dials move easily without grinding; magnets help you land exactly on the desired tick mark.
• High-speed stability — strong, well-placed magnets and refined geometry keep the puzzle stable even under very aggressive TPS.
• Competition-ready out of the box — fast and stable in stock form; at most you may want a small amount of lube to match your personal preference.
• Visually satisfying — the transparent emerald body lets you see the mechanics in action, adding extra enjoyment to every solve.

Who might not like it

• people who just want the cheapest basic clock to casually try the event;
• cubers who prefer an ultra-light, almost non-magnetic feel with minimal clicking;
• those who don’t care about limited editions and would rather have a more neutral color scheme.
