Timer – 107 Components, 20 min

In view of time, the mystery that is hidden behind the natural construct is just as mysterious as the dimension of time itself. Numerous myths and legends are thus entwined with this event called the past, present and future. The fact that this sequence of events can nevertheless be represented mechanically is thanks to the laws of nature themselves, which make the earth rotate in an orbit around the sun. This phenomenon, which is also derived as celestial mechanics, is projected onto the clockwork, which in the form of a pendulum or a balance wheel drives a pointer mechanism by means of gears. The UGEARS kit timer symbolizes this drive.

That by oneRubber motor and aElastic band Driven still life consists rather of wood and is composed of a total of 107 components. The pre-cut individual parts can be put together precisely and create a clockwork in an artistic way. The UGEARS models use the style of steampunk, a retro-futurism that emphasizes the beginnings of industrialization. With Kronos, the Greek god of time, the golden age dawned, which stylishly puts the present work of art in the center.
