UGears Aero Clock Wood Model Kit

The Aero Clock isn’t just a 3D wooden mechanical model, or a pretty showpiece. The Ugears Clock is an actual working clock that you can build yourself, mount to a wall, wind up, then watch as the seconds, minutes, and hours tick by. The Aero Clock is an ingenious puzzle and DIY clock mechanism, unlike any other clock. It is a lovely piece of precise engineering that reveals the workings of a weighted pendulum clock to builders and viewers alike. Like all Ugears models, it also has that extra touch of whimsy, to captivate and charm our growing legion of fans. As you build the Aero Clock, a wooden wall clock with pendulum, you will learn the basic principles behind clockworks, how the steadying influence of a swinging pendulum operates through a rocking anchor, locking and unlocking the gears on an escapement one second at a time, thereby regulating the (slow) descent of a weight as it drives both power gears and timekeeping gears. This advanced level kit has all you need, including high-quality plywood boards with pre-cut parts and detailed instructions. Assembly requires no glue or additional tools. The 320 pieces can be built using the detailed instruction manual. Estimated assembly time is 11 hours. Completed model size is 29.5″ x 18.5″ x 6.5″.
