It was my first ugears and first model I've ever built. Mine was stuck after half a turn, but after trying a couple of those troubleshooting tips I could make it run. It doesn't forgive any mistake you make during the assembly but it's great to see it moving now. Awesome!
Finished the clock last night. After about 20 minutes of coaxing it was running well. The video guidance of loading the mainspring was extremely helpful and reassuring. Great model! Excellent components and instructions. Mezmerizing!
It‘s 2:30 AM and I just finished the Tower. Loading the Spring was scary but this video really helped me.
Tomorrow I will assemble the Tourbillon but I need to buy sandpaper first. I have sanded every cog and every piece just a bit, so it’s a bit smoother to touch and the cogs can run better.
I really can’t wait until it’s finished, I haven’t been this exited since I was a kid.
Great Video!
Finished mine a few days ago. Took some time to get it to run properly but after excessivly sanding and waxing the moving parts inside the tourbillon ist runs pretty good. Except some occasional stops (mostly the little notch on the „fork“ swings too far and Locks the mechanism, like shown in this Video) i got mine to run for around 3 Hours More or less, With gaining around 3-4 Minutes in this time.
Overall a great model and very fun to build!
Why is there no sound on the video guidance
Every time I release the lock, the coil comes loose from the toothpick and breaks out of the circle like in the X example at 3:50. I lock and get the end back on the toothpick, but whenever I release the lock, the same thing just happens again. I'm really confused what I got wrong and how to fix it.
I’m just about to uncoil the spring, but having watched the rest of this video before I do a few things, please can you have audio walkthroughs, for something so complex to have no talking and just pointing us crazy tbh.
Now I doubt this is gonna work,
And can someone just tell me we’re the spring goes once fully wound up, such a bad camera angle with no explanation..
Do you just shove it inside , because that’s what it looks like to me.
I love your models but a few basic changes would make these outstanding, right now such as these complex ones I never feel there going to work.
And I also agree with poster in here, tooth picks are a joke for the price this costs…
I’d pay a few pounds more for better quality parts..
If you are refering to the main spring, the end that is within the coiled part ends up catching and locating on a cocktail stick part next to where it feeds In... Mine just caught onto it as I wound it in.
Look at the video 4:03 shows it fairly clearly.
@@andyh8625 thanks mate, much appreciated, I’m going to be doing the tourbillon tonight hopefully.👍
Bonjour @Ugears models, j'ai un problème avec ce modèle... Est ce qu'il existe un endroit pour se faire aider ? Merci d'avance pour votre réponse !
In my case the tourbillon nove smootly if i accompany it with my hand, and the spring in the clock unwind if i leave the lock button. The problem is that when i join togheter the clock and the tourbillion they dont move as if no energy of the spring comes to the tourbillion. Am i the only in this case?
same. did you find a solution?
@@dato007 has anyone by now?
I have the same problem , can someone tell wich part or wich thing is broken or how to fix it ?
I'm in the situation where the clock stops, I tried the suggestions proposed in this video, but the clock keeps stopping, more precisely it stops when the tuorbillon is upside down (specifically when the hemisphere containing the spring is down) Do you have any suggestions? It seems that the spring in the Tourbillion is not strong enough
Same with mine.. if we could get a bit more guidance on how to troubleshoot?
I have the same problem, and nothing helps :/
I just went through this. Make absolutely sure you made the fork right and put the right amount of spacers for the balance wheel and fork.
You need 2 metal spacers on top of the balance wheel (in between the hemispheres) one wood and metal underneath.
The fork needs a wood and metal under and a metal on top
I have exactly the same issue. Took the tourbillon apart and made sure that everything was lubricated and put together with all the spacers and metal washers. The tourbillon will run very nicely until it turns upside down. As it turns upside down, the escapement wheel goes slower and slower until it stops. Can't see any obvious problems.
I accidently broke the upper ring where the spinning mechanism is supposed to go in. Any idea where I could get a spare part for that?
Hi Yannick,
Please fill out the form for spare and replacement parts on our website - ugearsmodels.com/request-for-additional-parts.html.
We will send the parts at our expense.
Why didn't you add sound?!
I'm at the point of joining the 2 halves of rhe tourbillon togheter. The problem is: ov done all the passages as the instructions, but the metal axle is about 15mm longher than the sphere and eccess outside. I dont know why
Hey. I had the same issue... I was worried of breaking the tourbillon but after a while I decided to keep forcing the axis in using the wooden tool to help pushing. It worked in the end. Just go ahead gently... but still apply strength. It should go in almost all the way. If you don't push the metal axis correctly (almost) all the way in, when rotating it will rub against other pieces and the tourbillon will stop. Hope it helps :)
@@KailashKumar-en5bw yes, helpful indeed
I just loaded the spring. Did everything right. Now I push the lock in but the spring doesn’t wind up. Help!
i have the same problem and it p*sses me so much!!
My clock works for more than 3 hours. Occasionally stops, like once in hour. Run again with the light tap. I'd like to thank all the Ugears team for creating such a beautiful clock and exiting experience you gave me.....There is the one problem in my clock: the hour wheel jumps just 15 minutes forward instead of full hour. I carefully checked all steps and visually all seems right. What increments it should be jumped by default? Any suggestions how to fix it?
Hi Semion Sorovaiski,
Thank you for your question.
Please contact our Customer Service Department at customerservice@ugearsmodels.com. They will get back to you within 48 hours with help in your question.
@@ugearsmodelsua , thank you very much. The customer support team was prompt and very helpful providing the exact solution.
mine has the same problem, what is the solution you got?
@@dajwj Here is the solutions from the customer service that solved the problem:
Try grinding parts #5 so they slide easily in parts #8 and 9.
Please check that parts #18 and 12 are installed correctly (page #6, step 4) - the marks should match each other.
Also, check if part #36 is installed correctly in the right direction.
Good luck...)))
@@SemionSorovaiski 👍👍👍👍
Just about the hardest ugears ever done. I can't rotate/reseat the tourbillion. I move the levers. Get the impulse pin between the fork. Ensure the spring is balanced. But I can't get it to rotate. Am I supposed to spin the balance wheel to coax movement of the hemisphere? The spring keeps coming off the lever. Force ng be to disassemble and start over.
well i got past that. Now my issue is the balance spring keeps overextending. ITs fine for 1 minute then the spring expands and collides with the ribs. Frustrating.
Hi Fabian, we will get back to you with some advice from our Customer Support Team soon. Don't hesitate to contact them at customerservice@ugearsmodels.com whenever you need help with Ugears models.
Hi Fabian, please send us a short video of how the spring works for us to understand the issue at customerservice@ugearsmodels.com
@@ugearsmodelsua thanks I will do that a little later this week. Appreciate you seeing this
I am struggling with the main spring I have managed to hook it onto the stick, but when I release the lock it isn't staying hooked on the stick. Any advice?
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience. We will be back with some advice from our Customer Service.
Hi! Try to fix the spring more tightly with a toothpick in part #143. Then, it will be more rigid and should not move.
How do you fix this? Mine keeps coming off of the toothpick everytime I release the lock after winding. It does not stay around the toothpick no matter what I do.
@@jt1174 I sqished the hook open side with a pair of pliers, then pushed it onto the stick. Making it tighter. It now stays on and works fine 😊 hope this helps
I am also experiencing this issue
Mine is working great, the only problem is sometimes the tourbillon gets stuck and I have to turn the dial manually to get started again. Is this because the years were not properly greased?
Could be. I had the same issue. I decided that there were many points where small amounts of friction would cumulate and stop the tourbillon. I decided to strip it down, re-sand and re-grease . I took the tourbillon out, and let the main spring run down. Then wind the handle. At first, it took six turns before the gears turned. More, re-greasing again and again, until the lowest gears turned almost immediately. I am re-building again, and it is starting to look promising
@@georgebaxter5152 that's an awful lot of work. I'm not sure I'm as dedicated as you are but thank you for the advice
Hi, thank you for your question. We have passed it to our Customer Service team, and will be back with the answer soon.
@jason kersch Hi! The details may be poorly waxed. As a result, the mechanisms cannot operate so freely.
Also, please develop the sphere for at least 10 min (pages #55 and 56).
@@ugearsmodelsua when you say develop for 10 minutes can you explain what that means or send me a video? I never understood what that meant. Is there a video that I can send you showing what it’s doing? It seems that when it gets sideways to upside down and stops working. I’m gonna help it back to the top. It starts again, but it always stops in the same place.
Would love to build one of these but 3 hours running time? whoever thought of that ,has to be 24 hrs or i dont see the point.
This is only a model of a Table Clock with a Tourbillon. If you are interested in the model of the clock that can run 24 hours, pay attention to our other model - Aero Clock. ugearsmodels.com/aero-clock.html
日本語字幕もあると助かります...
Seems like scam to me. A triaxial tourbillon is very intricate and has only a small margin for errors and tolarance. Maybe some of you are lucky and your clock is working, but mine doesn't. Even after I ran it in for 4 hours, greatly surpassing the suggested 10 minutes in the manual.
Furthermore I don't understand why most of the axes are made out of toothpicks. I already built other clock models and they had metal axes only.
I would suggest ugears should rework this design and think about including better parts. I rather pay 10 Euros more than have to rely on sheer chance for the clock to work.
Hi, thank you for your comment. We have passed your feedback to our Design and Engineering team.
Our Customer Service will be happy to help you make the model work properly. Please email them at customerservice@ugearsmodels.com with several photos of the mechanism from different angles.
Це правда що ви не припинили продавати свої вироби у РФ?
Доброго вечора. Компанія Ugears не веде і ніколи не вела операційної та маркетингової діяльності в росії. До лютого на території росії, Білорусі та Казахстану продажі здійснювала компанія-дистрибутор.
З початком повномасштабного вторгнення росіян ми розірвали всі зв'язки з колишнім дистрибутором. На жаль, в мережі існує сайт з російським доменом і нашим брендом, але він нам не належить і ми робимо все можливе, щоб припинити використання бренду Ugears на росії.
@@ugearsmodelsua Дякую за відповідь.
Fez o relógio mas não mostrou ele funcionando! Vídeo picado! Mal feito
Hi! Please, send several photos of the mechanisms from different angles to our Support Team at customerservice@ugearsmodels.com. This will help them determine the stage of the model assembly and provide a complete answer for the troubleshooting.
I cannot express just how terrible this model is. It's missing the fundamental basics of a watch escapement, like the safety roller and the banking pins, which is why the pallet frequently falls out of place and the escapement stops. The jump hour also just doesn't work at all, as the little lever on step 3 of page 5 is too long to drop down to the tooth below. Even after filing this lever down, the jump hour works slightly better but gets stuck between the hours.
