Ugears - Sky Watcher Table Clock

The Clockwork Universe theory favored by 17th-century Deists held that the Earth and the heavens, and all their motions, were like a giant clock, with God as the Clockmaker. Newton's three laws of motion and the principle of universal gravitation were thought to be sufficient to explain phenomena of any kind, using mechanical conceptions. At UGears we love mechanical conceptions! And so, with a nod to Isaac Newton, we present the Sky-Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock, a fascinating combination of the imaginative celestial observatory and functional mechanical desk clock!

For years, UGears fans around the world clamored for us to create a functional wooden clock model. Together with the gravity-powered, wall-mounted Aero Clock, and now the spring-loaded Tourbillon Table Clock, we have doubly delivered! Clocks are complex mechanisms. We bet you never thought you could build your own clock out of wood that keeps accurate time! But with UGears models, you become a creative partner in an amazing mechanical adventure. To create this amazing DIY clock made from natural wood, our designers and engineers solved complex problems of friction, gearing, tooth strength, torsion of the clock body, and tourbillon axles under spring load. Now the challenge is yours: build, bring it to life, and become the clockmaker in your own steampunk universe.
