Q7.1
This is my seventh quartz piece, but the first to incorporate handmade, working gears with a motor. It's a hybrid clock that brings the best of two worlds.
The deliciously gnarled gears nestled on the face make up the motion-works of this clock. Motion works are the set of gears and pinions that create the twelve to one ratio needed for a clock's hands. In this case, they are much larger than necessary to showcase the mechanical element that's normally missing from motorized pieces. This technique also allowed me to remove half of the face without the motor showing, since it's not necessary to have it in the center anymore. As always, the graphic elements on the paper face are nicely weathered and worn.
