The Clockwork Universe theory favored by 17th C deists held that the Earth and the heavens, and all their motions, were like a giant clock, with God as the Clockmaker. Newtons three laws of motion and the principle of universal gravitation were thought to be sufficient to explain phenomena of any kind, using mechanical conceptions. At UGEARS we love mechanical conceptions! And so with a nod to Isaac Newton, we present the Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock, a fascinating combination of imaginative celestial observatory and functional table clock!
Similar to all UGEARS wooden models to build for adults, this clock kit includes laser pre-cut parts and easy-to-follow instructions in 11 languages. No extra tools are needed
Clock kits showcase our passion for timekeeping, astronomy, and mechanical marvels. You may never have dreamed that you could make your own clock out of wood and have it keep accurate time. So let’s embark on a new clock-making adventure together

Accept the challengeThese wooden model kits for adults are definitely not for beginners. The Sky Watcher 3D wooden puzzle will challenge even the most experienced model makers. It will take about 15 hours to assemble this mechanical clock kit. All necessary parts, tools and instructions come in the box. |
Discover the sophisticated mechanismThe Sky Watcher Tourbillon has axes of rotation around the vertical and horizontal axes of the clock and relative to the central axis of the inner sphere. Our wind-up clock operates based on the accumulation of potential energy in a flat spring and the metered release of this energy. When the mechanical model is fully wound, it can power the timepiece for approximately 2-3 hours. |
Impress your friends and familyThanks to its steampunk design and flawless mechanical mechanism, this 3D clock is a stunning yet tasteful piece of decor. Our DIY clock kit will delight night sky watchers, star gazers, amateur astronomers, horologists, clock and watch enthusiasts, experienced model builders, and anyone who appreciates superior design or a DIY challenge. |
