Building Aero Clock - Timelapse

This Aero Clock designed by Ugears is a 320-piece 3D wooden puzzle. Each piece is laser cut from plwood so you don't need any scissors or knife to get each piece. It is self-assembly and no gluing needed. No battery is required as it is operated by a weight.
"This simple-yet-elegant Ugears clock is driven by the force of gravity pulling down a weighted bag (you can fill the bag with sand or salt). Raise the bag on its pulleys to wind the clock. As the weight slowly descends, it rotates a drive gear, which then rotates an escape wheel through a reducer. The clock features an adjustable weighted pendulum which interacts with the escape wheel through the steady tick-tock of the anchor mechanism. You can adjust the clock's ticking action to the second, by sliding the pendulum's top and bottom weights. The reducer also transmits rotation to an hour disc and a minute disc. One of the interesting features of our Aero Clock is that time is not read with rotating hands on a clock face, but rather a fixed pointer indicates time on the slowly-rotating, numbered hour and minute discs. Moreover, these discs rotate counterclockwise-did you know that before standardization, some clocks moved clockwise while others moved counterclockwise? In the role of "cuckoo” the Ugears Aero Clock features a model hot air balloon. The suspended balloon rapidly descends when the hour strikes, then slowly rises again over the course of the next hour." - ugearsmodels.com/aero-clock.html

Right....very unique

[@Pixelographic]

This one has been working so far. I'm quite impressed.

[@robertdoupe4142]

They on sale right now, 65 bucks

[@arkha0s]

I didn't cut the waxed cord because I couldn't measure it, so I don't know if it was already the right size from the start?? I have almost finished assembling the clock, I am at the stage of hanging it on the wall. So I don't know if I should cut it or if it will work??

[@Pixelographic]

I don't think I cut mine either. I think I put the weight back up about every 9-10 hours. The nails were about 1.7m high from the floor, and the weight still touch the floor.

I'm heading what I'm assuming it's chatter, maybe a review. Do you have a non-timelapse version?

[@Pixelographic]

It is just me talking and watching telly while doing this. It's nothing related to the clock. I could do a voice over next time.
