Is this really a clock?

I can't find words enough to describe this.

If I've got a spare afternoon I might knock one of those up

Wow.

I haven't got the patience, time or the skill to make one myself.

Very impressive.

The guy just didn't know when to stop cutting gears.

Wow.

I think you would need a PhD to read all the outputs!

Magnificent workmanship.

It's great to see these skills are still alive and well

15 years so far, wow

I saw a guy on TV once and the skilled makers whack them out with a hand file

Took him about 2 minutes to do a quarter of a gear

No doubt the finishing takes a lot longer

Simple answer - no its not just a clock it is a masterpiece !

A ‘multiclock’ might be a better title for it. Does it tell you the weather, as well as the time?

Hi,

The maker posts updates on the HMEM website.

The early design drawings in high def CAD are here

The timeline is here

That is utterly amazing.

Thank's to the op, for sharing it.

just wish I had the time.......forget the skill's which are huge.........

Would be even more impressive if they included a tea making section

According to the clock maker's definition, if it gives audible indication of hours it's a clock, if it just displays the time it's a timepiece. However, buried deep inside many microprocessors is a device which gives out a stream of pulses at millions per second and this also gets called a clock, even though it is hopefully silent
