The most interesting thing about this clock is the detailed description of the mechanism and how it works. Naturally, this became tiresome, and so the self-winding clock was born. The design was born from the initial attempt the designer had to 3D print an analog clock which needed to be wound twice a day.
This 3D printed analog clock is similar to the pendulum clock above but with an added twist, where the pendulum clock needs to be wound every week, this self-winding clock can take care of itself and keep accurate time for months without needing any maintenance. I can’t count how many times I’ve noticed stopped clocks in my friend’s houses that even they haven’t noticed.
While winding a clock can be a nice way of reminding yourself that you’re in control, for some it is quite the hassle, and an easily forgotten one too.
