Motor clock

What do they say about a finely tuned engine: it runs like a clock? Turn that idea on its head with the Ugears Engine Clock, a perfectly tuned clock that runs like an engine (and looks like one)! This mechanical pendulum-powered table clock has an automotive theme, featuring an engine block design on top with moving pistons and displaying the time in the style of a tachometer (hours) and a tachometer (minutes). The action of the pendulum and the escapement of the clock produce a delightful ticking sound, while the running seconds are displayed on the escapement on the back of the clock. The Engine Clock tells the time for up to 5 hours on a single charge (the running time can be extended by another 60-90 minutes if the pistons are disengaged). A retrograde mechanism on the minute hand automatically resets after 60 minutes.

To wind the Motorized Clock, use the ignition key on the front of the clock. To set the time, turn the large gear closest to the clock face (the retrograde mechanism) clockwise until the minute hand resets to zero, then move the hour hand with your finger counterclockwise to the current time. To set the minute hand to the current time, turn the large gear behind the clock face again. Depending on whether the clock runs fast or slow, you can adjust the pendulum. For more precise adjustment, raise or lower the circular weight at the base of the pendulum to adjust the time and raise or lower the ball at the top of the pendulum.

The DIY Wooden Motor Clock is the latest addition to the Ugears collection of working clocks, which includes the Aero Clock Pendulum Wall Clock and the Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock. While these models are both “advanced” level, with the Motor Clock we have strived to design a functional “medium” level clock, so that more hobbyists can experience the satisfaction of building their own working 3D clock. Like all Ugears models, the Motor Clock assembles without glue or special tools: simply peel the pre-cut laser-cut pieces off the artist-grade composite wood boards and snap them together. Each kit comes with detailed, step-by-step, color-illustrated instructions in 11 languages ​​(Ukrainian, English, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Italian, Chinese and Korean) to guide the assembly, as well as sandpaper and wax to smooth and lubricate all moving parts for optimal operation. If you get stuck during assembly, need help troubleshooting, or break a part during construction, email our exceptional customer service team - we'll be happy to answer any questions or send you replacement parts for free!

The elegant Motor Clock from Ugears will surely thrill all the motor enthusiasts and clock and watch lovers in your family and friends, and it is a perfect gift, either in the package, unassembled, or already assembled. For all builders, enthusiasts and mechanics, it is time to experience the satisfaction of building, adjusting and maintaining your own DIY car clock!
