We are presenting the Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock, a fascinating combination of imaginative celestial observatory and functional table clock!

For years, Ugears fans around the world clamored for us to create a functional wooden clock model. Together with the gravity powered, wall-mounted Aero Clock, and now the spring-loaded Tourbillon Table Clock, we have doubly delivered! Clocks are complex mechanisms. We bet you never thought you could build your own clock out of wood, and have it keep accurate time! But with Ugears models, you become a creative partner in an amazing mechanical adventure. To create this amazing DIY clock made out of natural wood, our designers and engineers solved complex problems of friction, gearing, tooth strength, torsion of the clock body and tourbillon axles under spring load. Now the challenge is yours, to build it, bring it to life, and become the clockmaker in your own steampunk universe.

The Sky Watcher tourbillon mechanism has three axes of rotation: around the vertical axis of the clock, horizontal axis of the clock, and relative to the central axis of the inner sphere. When the model is fully wound it can power the timepiece for approximately 2-3 hours, sufficient for long observation of the mesmerizing mechanism, or to provide a pleasant background ticking clock sound and visual diversion for a period of work or rest. This model kit is definitely not for beginners, but will prove a delightful challenge for more experienced modellers. When assembling your Tourbillon Table Clock, the complexity of the mechanism must be taken into account. Remember, to keep accurate time, your clock requires lubrication and a neat, tidy assembly.

The Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock from Ugears will make a handsome, fascinating addition to any home or office space. It's also a great gift idea. Give this DIY clock kit as a holiday or birthday gift to your favorite hobbyist and present them with a wonderful challenge, or if that hobbyist is you, build it as a magnificent display piece for your own mantle or home office. You could also present a completed Ugears 3D puzzle clock as a special gift to a loved one, giving them a unique, handcrafted piece of art and engineering in which you have invested your time and talents. The Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock will appeal to night sky watchers, star gazers, amateur astronomers, horologists, clock and watch enthusiasts, experienced model builders, 17th C deists, Isaac Newton stans, and anyone who appreciates superior design or a DIY challenge.

Mijn 1e van Ugears.
Was erg leuk om te doen.
De werking… afstellen was denk ik het moeilijkste. Pas als de veer nagenoeg afgelopen is dan hapert hij pas.

Tip? Het kaarsvet (waxinelichtje) in het hoet laten trekken (oppervlakkig) met de fohn zo heb je geen rommeltjes en loopt enorm soepel.

Prachtig model en zit hier ineen
Jammer dat ik het mechanisme niet aan de praat krijg.....
Nochtans dubbel gecheckt dat ik geen fouten heb gemaakt.
Ik denk dat die "losse" veer voor de problemen zorgt.
Wie kan mij helpen?

Een geweldig project om te bouwen. Ervaring is wel nodig om deze in elkaar te zetten. Het is mooi om te zien hoe het mechanisme werkt

Heerlijk project. De 15 uur had ik niet nodig, maar dat nam het plezier zeker niet weg. Wat ik wel deed, veel meer onderdeeltjes schuren dan aan gegeven en niet te zuinig met het het kaarsvet.
