Aero Clock. Wall clock with pendulum
Assemble me. Catch the star moment!
Ugears is proud to present the Aero Clock, a fully functioning wall clock with a pendulum that you can build yourself, mount to a wall, wind up, then watch as the seconds, minutes, and hours tick by. The theme of the Aero Clock is early aeronautics. The casing and intriguing wooden clock mechanism represent an air base located among the clouds, where zephyrs blow and filtered rays of sunlight dapple the machinery, while you, in the role of aeronaut, launch a new voyage of exploration on the hour.
This simple-yet-elegant Ugears clock is driven by the force of gravity pulling down a weighted bag (you can fill the bag with sand or salt). Raise the bag on its pulleys to wind the clock. As the weight slowly descends, it rotates a drive gear, which then rotates an escape wheel through a reducer. The clock features an adjustable weighted pendulum which interacts with the escape wheel through the steady tick-tock of the anchor mechanism. You can adjust the clock's ticking action to the second, by sliding the pendulum's top and bottom weights. The reducer also transmits rotation to an hour disc and a minute disc. The suspended balloon rapidly descends when the hour strikes, then slowly rises again over the course of the next hour.

This is a second Aero Clock that we have put together.
It worked as soon as we put the weight on it. We are monitoring the clock to get the time adjustment just right. It was assembled over a leisurely 6-day period with an about an hour or two per day. It is working perfectly with the balloon dropping each hour. The instructions are very clear, but you need to proceed carefully so everything goes together as instructed. We are very happy with the clock with the gentle tic-tock.
I love my UGears clock. It is a different experience every day. So enjoyable. I will send more pictures. Thank you. Kerry
Very beautiful clock, this is a right mechanical movement and can see the gears moving and the hot air baloon going up slowly and down every hours running.
Need a more experience and patient to assembly because it may not work for the 1st time to run this clock, I was take almost 8 month to adjustment to make this clock running well. Now my clock is fully run everyday. I can say this is very great! I am enjoy to look it running and the sound like tik tok... Joy and happy.
Muy bonito kit. Buen material y buenas instrucciones. Funciona correctamente.
Great
.
Really fun to do but you need to be careful because some of the parts can be delicate due to the nature of the wood. Just make sure you’ve followed the instructions correctly before to push the parts together and don’t rush.
It looks amazing when it’s finished, I’m really impressed with the kit. I’ll probably come back for more kits.
Have not started the build yet, next in the queue but examined all of the parts /sheets and gone through the instructions and am very pleased with the attention to detail- this is my first U Gears but read the reviews and always wanted to build a clock!
Ottima la spedizione. Il regalo è stato molto gradito.
Fun Build.
