Precision mechanics that work

Springs, gears, escapements, pendulums. Everything is out in the open — and you build it yourself, no experience needed.

Laser-cut, precise fit

Every part comes out of a pre-cut board and fits first time. No measuring, no trimming.

Wood, no glue

Untreated plywood with visible grain. The parts slot together — no glue, no special tools.

Your teenager barely talks to you anymore? Why a shared project helps

At 14 to 16, things go quiet. A project for two creates time side by side – and five mechanical models that fit.

UGEARS is a Ukrainian brand, founded in Kyiv in 2014, that designs mechanical wooden model kits and produces them in the EU. The range covers more than a hundred models — from clocks and marble runs to vehicles and the licensed Harry Potter™ and Star Wars™ series. ugears.de is operated by Ligna Arts OHG, the official importer for Germany.

They actually work once they're built. They're driven mechanically, by spring and rubber-band motors: clocks run with a pendulum or a tourbillon, marble runs carry the marble back up by lift, and safes get a combination lock with a code you set yourself. The range goes from the Droideka with 180 parts to the Millennium Falcon with 1,235 — the brand's largest kit.

Depending on the model, from about half an hour to around 50 hours. The build time is shown as a guide on every product page where it is available for that model.

The manufacturer's age recommendation is on every product page — for most models it is 14+. It tells you whether someone can manage on their own, not whether a model is too hard. Built together, younger builders can start earlier.

100-day returns. Returns within Germany are free for you.

Tell us which model and which part number are affected. Spare parts are free. They are sent by the manufacturer from within the EU, with no customs fees.
