Assemble me. Catch the star moment! Ugears is proud to present the Aero Clock, a fully functioning wall clock with a pendulum that you can build yourself, mount to a wall, wind up, then watch as the seconds, minutes, and hours tick by. The theme of the Aero Clock is early aeronautics. The casing and intriguing wooden clock mechanism represent an air base located among the clouds, where zephyrs blow and filtered rays of sunlight dapple the machinery, while you, in the role of aeronaut, launch a new voyage of exploration on the hour. This simple-yet-elegant Ugears clock is driven by the force of gravity pulling down a weighted bag (you can fill the bag with sand or salt). Raise the bag on its pulleys to wind the clock. As the weight slowly descends, it rotates a drive gear, which then rotates an escape wheel through a reducer. The clock features an adjustable weighted pendulum which interacts with the escape wheel through the steady tick-tock of the anchor mechanism. You can adjust the clock's ticking action to the second, by sliding the pendulum's top and bottom weights. The reducer also transmits rotation to an hour disc and a minute disc. The suspended balloon rapidly descends when the hour strikes, then slowly rises again over the course of the next hour.
