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.

I would like to power the clock with the minute hand that rotates clockwise. The hour dial is "clicked" in a counter clockwise direction each time the minute hand comes around to strike a post. The hour dial will need to "lurch" forward 30 degrees and stop each time the minute hand moves the dial. I don't know how to achieve this without using some kind of spring loaded ratchet mechanism. Also, friction between minute hand and post needs to be addressed. So this may be a lot more challenging than we can handle.
