This is the 1:1 scale Academy model of the Da Vinci clock.
I bought it from a model dealer in the toy wholesale district in Seoul in November.
No glue and no paint (but I did paint on the gold numbers). It works and can be done in under an hour. This is a great kit for families and a wonderful learning experience. Who knew basic clocks could work with so few gears?
The device runs for about 5 minutes before the weight reach the ground. Mounting it on the wall and adding more string would give it ten minutes. Adding more weight might also help.
