Description
While this piece doesn't span as wide as some of my earlier work, I've spent more hours on it than any gear-less piece so far. This is due to a lot of detailed carving, specifically on the dial; and the machining of the very solid casing, and dial ring. For the motor casing, and the ring around the parameter of the dial, I used thick bronze piping, typically used for industrial bearings. This almost completely dampens the commercial clock motor, which can otherwise be distractingly noisy. Because pipe was used, rather than sheet, I could make the dial a lot deeper. This allowed for the interesting effect of one hand passing behind the decorative curl on the top of the clock, while the other passes in front.

The atypical horizontal design of this piece makes it perfect for placement over doorways or mantles, but it has the detail and interest to be viewed up close at eye level.

Materials - Brass and bronze.
Dimensions - 19 1/4" wide x 5 1/2" tall x 2" deep.
