This is the first wooden mechanical piece that I built. The clock is weight driven and will run for about 30 hours before needing to rewind, and keeps time within +/- 2 mins over 24 hours. Simplicity was designed by the clockmaker and artist Clayton Boyer.
This was a fun project to ‘cut my teeth on’ and I learned a lot of lessons on the pros and cons of building mechanical pieces with tight tolerances from wood. More importantly, building this project dramatically furthered my passion for creating kinetic artwork
