Sculptural Mechanical Clock

Post by pabernethy »

Thought you guys would be interested in a clock I completed recently. My take on a Grasshopper escapement. Video here:

Thanks Guys. Seems the link to the video is suspect. Hopefully this one will work.

What a beautiful piece of art I would say simply beautiful but I'm positive it's not. I only have one question, What time is it? :D

A wonderful mixture of 21st century hi-tech and 19th century ornate. So delicate. It makes most wooden clocks look like they were made by Fred Flintstone. Being an acrylic fabricator I particularly love your window clock. Thanks for the latest video. We can see much more detail. Did you do a photo or video history of building them? Who cares about the time? If you need to know the exact time, check your Iphone.
