Wall clock5/27/2023 The Aero Clock isn't just a 3D wooden mechanical model, or a pretty showpiece. The suspended balloon rapidly descends when the hour strikes, then slowly rises again over the course of the next hour. Moreover, these discs rotate counterclockwise-did you know that before standardization, some clocks moved clockwise while others moved counterclockwise? In the role of "cuckooā€¯ the Ugears Aero Clock features a model hot air balloon. One of the interesting features of our Aero Clock is that time is not read with rotating hands on a clock face, but rather a fixed pointer indicates time on the slowly-rotating, numbered hour and minute discs. ![]() The reducer also transmits rotation to an hour disc and a minute disc. You can adjust the clock's ticking action to the second, by sliding the pendulum's top and bottom weights. The clock features an adjustable weighted pendulum which interacts with the escape wheel through the steady tick-tock of the anchor mechanism. As the weight slowly descends, it rotates a drive gear, which then rotates an escape wheel through a reducer. Raise the bag on its pulleys to wind the clock. ![]() 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). Ugears is proud to present the Aero Clock, a fully-functioning DIY wall clock with pendulum. Your dream has also been our dream, and our team of dedicated Ugears engineers and designers has been working hard to bring this shared dream into reality. The time has come! For years, we've been hearing the same question again and again from our loyal customers: "Can Ugears create a working clock model kit, one that actually keeps accurate time?" A working mechanical wooden clock has long been our #1 "most-requested" new design.
