3D Clock

posted Jul 2, 12:00 AM by Puffo

Imagine a clock with a face that goes against logic. A clock where a second hand quickly takes off in an unexpected direction.

The hands of the TRIACHRON seem to move magically, attracting the eye of the observer. Especially the fast-moving second hand of this timepiece makes it obvious why clock movements are so fascinating.

A complex curved mechanism with a forced control was developed for the very intricate clock hand control mechanism. It controls each of the hands of the clock on 2 axes to keep the hand surfaces parallel and at a constant distance to the 3-dimensionsal face of the timepiece. The clock hands move through the three corners and rotate along their own longitudinal axis keeping on the corner angle.
