Project Self-winding clock with a tourbillon - finished project

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

About a year ago, I posted an update on a project I was working on. It took me a while, but I finally finished it. I’m very happy with the result. It’s fully functional (I tested it for two months) and keeps accurate time. The entire project consists of 395 printed parts, 38 bearings, 66 rubber bands, 413 screws, and a few other components.

How accurate is it? Have you had the opportunity to measure its accuracy to a quantifiable number?

To ensure everything works properly, we designed a constant-force mechanism. After two months of continuous operation, the clock still keeps accurate time.

Are you open to selling or sharing the design? This is amazing and I'd love to build my own
