DAB's 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've collaborated with Guy Marsden and relied upon him for all the engineering and fabrication. In these situations I'll typically build a mock up to confirm feasibility and essential design features. Through an iterative process with Guy I'll ultimately create a 3D representation that Guy will reference during the 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.
