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.
Projector Binary Clock
A Graphlex large format camera (circa 1945) is used to project the image of an LED binary clock array (electronics scavenged from an Anelace clock) onto frosted glass. The clock is located in rear of the camera at the film plane. The clock image is projected onto a 90 degree mirror prism and then redirected to frosted glass. Alignment is tricky and spacing of all elements is critical in order to get "dots" of light properly sized and positioned on frosted glass.
