Fully Functional Lego Clock With 7 Complications

See much more on my Instagram.. it has a life-sized Lego dinosaur: / legosaretotallyforadults
Tired of your clocks not being loud, bulky and made of Legos? Well have I got a solution for you!
This clock was built mostly for the challenge, it's not based on any instructions but I definitely borrowed a few clever mechanisms from others online (most notably KEvronista).
There are over 4,300 pieces, 100 gears, and 7 independent complications including:
* Second Hand
* Flyback Chronograph
* Automatic Rewinders
* Hour Striking Mechanism
* Astronomical Lunar Calendar
* Day Tracker
* Week Tracker
Everything in the clock except the rewinders are completely gravity powered and mechanical. There are no digital components and every gear serves a purpose- nothing for decoration.

This is what Lego Technic is really meant for.

[@JohnnyGearBot]

Lego needs to create a functional mechanical Lego clock set

[@rydoggo]

would either be all digital, or be hundreds upon hundreds of dollars. or it would be a coveted set like that one star wars set.

[@tsaszymborska7389]

Rydog5392 It doesn’t have to be as complicated as this one.

[@gustavgnoettgen]

A kit with key components for a clock, not even too much, but for different models would be cool.

[@vinesthemonkey]

they did with NXT as a bonus online model.

[@davidziemkiewicz1350]

Simply a masterpiece. The whole clock looks like a sort of mechanical cathedral :O

[@felixuhland9779]

By far one of the best lego creations ever. A masterpiece of engineering! Thanks for building!

[@KEvronista]

*_SEVEN?!_* i'm so outdone.
it's absolutely majestic. an unrivaled masterpiece.

[@jakesllama]

Knex builder here. observing the amount of complications and features you've added would definitely make this the most successful hobbyist clock with plastic building parts. Really intuitive and well designed. Fantastic work. Cant wait to see what you come up with next.

[@LegosAreTotallyForAdults]

Check out my Instagram, I've definitely been busy since I built this! instagram.com/LegosAreTotallyForAdults/

[@arnoldrimmer9161]

This is crazy brilliance of the highest order. Is there instructions at all? I'd love to build it.

[@mrpringlehead]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@alanclarke4646]

Awesome clock.

[@ryanm.191]

It’s incredible these machines
So simple yet so complex
And almost 100% efficient

[@tperm1]

Best lego creation eeeeeveerrr. For sure no one can build something cooler

[@matthrew]

I like what youtube started recommending me

[@dneurona]

I'm speechless. Great work!

[@benjaminepstein5856]

THIS IS FANTASTIC

[@jm56z43]

If you increase the weights, you can have them drop slower, meaning the rewinders run less often. The best scenario would be to have about 3 days of autonomy on the weights, and they'd drop at the same rate over a day.

[@zackaryschneider8652]

Haha! I just watched beyond the bricks video about this creation recently then this was on my recommend page! Nice job man!

[@dartagnanx1]

Simply incredible!

[@pRahvi0]

Also, it's quite fancy looking.

[@squirrelbazooka8033]

Absolutely incredible

[@davidpartridge2675]

Wow. This is insane fantastic stuff love it well done sir respect Dave in the uk

[@legotechnicmastery]

Lovely clock design

[@megabeam]

Just incredible

[@SOPM2007]

Let's now build a Lego Technic clock with perpetual calendar!

[@tiago4587]

just brilliant

[@mojolotz]

In the name of the Omnissiah!
Flesh is weak! Plastic is eternal!

[@BenVanDeWaal]

Indeed a masterpiece. I can not see how the escapement works; what type is it?

[@davidziemkiewicz1350]

from 0:26 and 1:20, I'd say it is verge and foliot

[@BenVanDeWaal]

It appears to be like that. Thank you

[@squarepusher645]

60 comments.. in 3 years... not enough seen this masterpiece... just WOW!!! you have one more Sub!... p.ps. shared this with many.. GG

[@mitaskeledzija6269]

Amazing!

[@DGNCZ]

Amazing ... real masterpiece

[@tynchytemper9618]

I think that I'd probably have trouble sleeping with this next to the bed

[@legoguysoff]

Great job man !!!

[@OfficialRainsynth]

That's amazing looking clock.

[@SpockFalk]

Super project, congratulations!

[@DocMacLovin]

incredible!

[@discordping5072]

The precision is crazy! It reminds me of a Patek Philippe.

[@SkywalkerLegacy]

Beautiful, literally perpetual. As a watch enthusiast, this is incredibly satisfying to watch. Hopefully this can be an actual set for people at home one day.

[@northernlights9533]

I read it as glock lol
Amazing work btw

[@alisterbaker-lowe]

I want this exact clock now...

[@Zeppflyer]

Very well done. Bravo! How accurate is it?

[@davidellis3120]

I WILL VOTE FOR IT

[@giovannicesaramorimnumero7589]

really cool clock!

[@ayrtonpavot3096]

Simply Amazing.

[@JoranPrins]

awesome design!

[@davidellis3120]

PUT THIS ON LEGO IDEAS

[@themaicky3209]

This man must have a lot of spare time

[@pragmatismusa5878]

Amazing

[@guineapigwarriors2453]

So cool

[@drubradley8821]

By the way, I kindly mention.. @0:08, the two U-Joints, are out of phase from one another, and the 90 degrees of out of phase, although slowly, still will create pulsing effect, through out a full rotation of the output end ... Good luck.. clever system,

[@domsau2]

The thumb down must be a jealous Meccano builder!

[@dimml0r]

minute repeater.... thats insane

[@43615]

I know that's way too much to ask for, but could you make some building instructions? I'd pay for them.

[@Angela-ln5db]

Very clever

[@rocgravillon9858]

Hello
Congratulations on your fantastic work,
I'm sure if you make other videos of explanations
the number of view should be x 1000
I'm proud to be the 10th viewer !

[@njf1175]

I saw the vid showing you and your clock from Beyond the Brick

[@nonuplet8278]

crazy.

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

You should sell the design to Lego! You'd get rich with just a few purchases!

[@bergamt]

Did you build a lego rack and snail?

[@tomasztyrka6361]

wow the hour reapatier is the nost easy to build

[@edharley4369]

The electric motor killed it for me

[@LegosAreTotallyForAdults]

The electric motor is just powering the automatic rewinding mechanism

[@chickenator9618]

How did you get all those peace’s

[@robertlozyniak3661]

How long does it go on one winding?

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

In the description, it says "Week Tracker". Where'd you display that in the video?

[@LegosAreTotallyForAdults]

I think I plum forgot to pay special attention to it, but in the first image of the clock you can see it at the top right corner of the clock face displaying "SUN"

[@delayed_control]

Doesn't the rewinder defeat the whole purpose of a mechanical clock? The amount of energy you need to spend to rewind it is likely higher than what you'd spend driving the clock directly throughout the same period.

[@sunnythekitty]

Wouldn't the engine get annoying over time or is it being purposefully reset?

[@BrickDesignerNL]

Good that you did mention ruclips.net/user/KEvronista as source for most mechanisms. Your build looks awesome.

[@miguelangeldelafuent]

Muy bonito.

[@Inkreptile]

could you please help me with the chronograph function
im building a ratrapant flyback chronograph and can't figure the culumn wheel and the start function out
even dough im a watchmaker

[@mechamax7919]

you should call lego and show them this, i'm sure they'd love to make it an official set!

[@ovalteen4404]

Lego has a history of rejecting designs that they deem too complicated.

[@LegosAreTotallyForAdults]

@@ovalteen4404 You're very right, even I hated it by the time I was done.

[@technikchaot]

Very nice Clock is there a Lego set to buy?

[@TransistorBased]

That's not a flyback chrono.

[@dinhtuan752]

Unwinding by 1 PF XL motor

[@DaveKeystone]

Have you submitted to Lego Ideas?

[@Stxhen]

awsome

[@YamamotoTV2021]

2:44 2:45 Your clock’s hands aren’t perfectly lined up

[@ruthjoy7147]

but its still cinda cool

[@robonia6424]

Why I see Big Ben clock face

[@GeorgeCaps]

Send me the instruction.

[@northernrocketry3559]

Where can I buy one

[@mizu_yt]

What does "5 minute warning" mean ?

[@aiphdssong]

Even repeater
What a monstrous

[@jong9992]

송의정 not a repeater. A chiming clock.

[@bencalabro431]

yea chiming clock. i believe that making a minute repeater in lego would be quite a few million times harder.

[@vr059332]

there are avaiable the instructions ?

[@MEERKAQ]

To see how long you have to live :)

[@160rpm]

Do you have a BOM for Bricklink? lol

[@Mima_the_vengeful_spirit]

any MOC print available?

[@iremnardereli7407]

Bunun emosisini yapsana

[@dinhtuan752]

Sun Yellow Moon White

[@ruthjoy7147]

the motor sound is realy annoying if i had that clock i smash it with a hammer becose its so annoying

[@LegosAreTotallyForAdults]

Correct observation, it was extremely annoying. Turns out the motors were dying, which was part of it.

[@komnaarmijnkanaaltoe]

Go fischertechnik

[@10poundsimracing14]

Cool design also 100th comment

[@E-BikingAdventures]

You have too much time on your hands.
