A Little Town Built Around Time At first glance it looks like a tiny European street pulled from another era. Follow the stairs past glowing windows and a welcoming café though and everything leads back to the clock tower above—a miniature town designed around something that actually works. Take the Long Way to the Clock Tower Follow the flower-lined path past arched windows climb the winding stairs and peek into the little storefront along the way. Above it all sits the detailed clock face and its tiny cuckoo bird giving every level something different to discover before your eyes finally reach the top. The Town Looks Better After Hours Turn on the lights and warm gold begins to spill from the windows entrance and tiny streetlamp below. Suddenly the streets feel less like a model and more like somewhere people have gone home for the evening—while the clock tower keeps watch overhead. You’re Building a Clock Not Just a Model Piece by piece the little town takes shape around a working mechanical clock. Watching the architecture and functional mechanism come together makes the finished piece especially satisfying: when the last piece is in place you haven’t just made something to display. You’ve made something that keeps time. For Someone Who Likes Beautiful Things That Do Something Made for the person who appreciates old clocks clever mechanisms miniature architecture and objects with a purpose. They get the satisfaction of building it themselves—and a functional keepsake that earns its place on the desk or shelf long after the project is finished.
