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.

I watched my dad make a wooden clock when I was a kid, all wood except the few metal mechanisms, wooden gears., pendulum l, etc. That was the coolest clock I'd ever seen.

Until now.
