Tourbillon table clock - functional clock in the form of a celestial observatory.
Watches are quite complex mechanisms. Have you ever imagined that you could create a real wood clock with your own hands, showing the exact time? We invite you to be our companions on an amazing mechanical adventure and complete this very special jigsaw puzzle - a functional wooden clock!
This functional and beautiful wooden table clock features a rotating tourbillon on top. In wrist and pocket watches, the tourbillon mechanism helps increase accuracy by counteracting the effects of gravity when the watch is stationary. An escapement mechanism with a balance wheel located in the movable sphere averages out minor timekeeping errors caused by gravity. In table and wall clocks, the tourbillon often has a decorative function.
There are many variations of the tourbillon movement today, including one-, two- and three-axis, but the common design is that they are a complex engineering challenge, so watches with a tourbillon will always cost significantly more than models that do not have this mechanism. The idea that you can create your own tourbillon out of wood without glue or special tools is amazing!
Present this mechanical model for a birthday, New Year, any other holiday, or for no reason at all. Who knows, maybe building kits will become a new interesting hobby for them.
