We have for auction a piece of steam punk clock art, using the latest technology and old world craftsmanship to produce a stunning one-of-a-kind timepiece.The timepiece consists of a seven day movement which chimes on the half-hour and hour, so needs winding every seven days. Keeps excellent time and loses less than a minute between winds. Although the clock may need slight adjustment to the pendulum as clocks can be sensitive to temperature and movement, this is easily done ...by using the adjustment screw fitted to the pendulum. Its a simple matter of turning the screw to the right or the left, depending on whether you want to speed up or slow down the clock.The steam engine components, governor and gears are driven by a small electric motor that is hidden in the bearing housing, A small electric motor is driven by two AA batteries which are housed at the back of the clock for easy access when they need replacing. The underside of the wooden base is clad in green leather to protect any surface the clock is placed upon.The pictures speak for themselves, and as you can see from them there's a lot going on, far more than I can describe here in a few words. As you will appreciate a lot of time went into the building of this work of art, using the latest software to draw and print 3-D components. The mechanics have been made to look old to give an air of neglect and age, but all running shafts are fitted with roller bearings to give many years pleasure. The glass dome & wooden base measures (H) 29 x (W) 23 x (D) 23 cm There is a small button situated at the front of the wooden base, that when depressed, the mechanics of the installation come to life.
