DABs Clocks is a collection of hand made, one of a kind devices that each display time in unconventional and interesting ways. These time pieces are both functionally and aesthetically pleasing. I design and build some of my clocks without any assistance. For others I turn to Guy Marsden for the engineering and fabrication phase. In these situations I bring a concept to Guy and through an iterative and collaborative process I'll eventually create a 3D representation of the clock that Guy will build.
Battery powered with min-quartz clock mechanism
Challenges include:
1. Attaching disc to the hour post of the clock movement
2. Placing time markings on disc clock face
3. Making it easy to replace battery without disturbing clock between clock movement and disc.
12 white arrows (one large and 11 smaller), placed at 30 degree intervals around the cylinder, would tell the time. 11 of the arrows would be associated with correction factors, like time zone adjustments.
