Introduction
For hundreds of years, mechanical clocks have served as functional timekeepers. During
that time, clocks have also been treasured for their artistic and aesthetic value. For most clocks,
the artistry involves the shape and ornamentation of the clock’s exterior case. However, these
cases hide the inner beauty of the clock–its mechanical clockworks.
The Crescent clock is a wooden gear clock that is a functional timekeeper with an open
frame which exposes its mechanical elements. All the moving parts are clearly visible. It is
intriguing to watch the seconds and minutes tick away.
It is enjoyable to see and hear this clock running. However, the most enjoyable part of
this clock is the satisfaction gained by assembling the clock yourself, perhaps adding your own
creative touches. And, through the process of building the clock, you will gain an understanding
of the principles that govern how a clock works.
We truly hope you enjoy building your clock. Please contact us if there is any way that
