Twisted Twelve detail

Description

This piece is 100% hand made, including hand-machined gears, and hand-threaded screws. It's powered by a weight, which is wound once a week. It also features a maintaining-spring, which means that it has a reserve of power that keeps it ticking even during winding. I've been testing this one for accuracy over the last month, and it has been within two seconds a week.

I love your metal work, especially with the clocks you do. I keep looking at them and coming up with stories of how they were some of the few remaining pieces of equipment to survive after a horrible accident. And now the owner keeps them to remind themselves never to let it happen again, or to honor what was lost in those events. I can totally see them being a part of an 18th century, steampunk or magic story.

*makes note*
...remember to write small story featuring this clock later
