Epicyclic Clock 1

This clock was built from plans designed by Clayton Boyer. The clock uses an epicyclic (planetary) gear system and is powered by a constant force "negator" spring rather than a weight and pulley system. The frame is made of Brazilian cherry and the gears (wheels) are made of aircraft quality Finnish birch.
