Finally!
Sometimes things go much quicker than expected, and sometimes they take a little longer. This project took longer…roughly 600 hours longer.
It’s entirely my fault. This piece was supposed to be a slightly larger and slightly more complex version of “Perpetual No.1”. But instead…well, I got a little carried away.
That’s a good thing, of course. “Getting carried away” usually means I’m taking my work to another level, and this project was an opportunity to do just that.
While everything is essentially finished, there are still some personal additions that I’ll be making for the client. And while I run the clock and do a final test on the mechanism, there will be, as there is with every piece, some little things I notice which I’ll want to refine.
That said, this epic journey is coming to a close. I’m going to savor every second I have with this piece before delivery to Australia.
As stated in the video, I’m going to build a large wall and create a simple “set” to film the finished video of this horological achievement. In the mean time, I wanted to get some preliminary footage out there for everyone to see.
Enjoy!
