I saw one of these hanging on the wall at a client's home. I loved it and had to find out more about them...and have one.
The company is called Maples Clock and they make a variety of very cool
wall clocks, including a full line of "Gear wall clocks" that are
basically cool modern skeleton wall clocks.
The one I got is called the
Large Moving-Gear Wall Clock with Glass Cover
Gear wall clock with front glass cover
Clock Size: 8″ x 22″
Clock N.W.: 8 lbs
Battery: 2 x Size D (1.5v)
You can see it at
http://www.maplesclock.com/category/wall-clocks/gear-wall-clocks/It is REALLY impressive. The large red second hand sweeps VERY smoothly
like a nice automatic wrist watch. It is a fake automatic and the
entire clock is actually run by 2 D-Batteries. There is a pull chain at
the very bottom that when pulled activates all of the spinning "gears"
to begin moving. The moving gears really have nothing to do with the
actual watch working, but still look REALLY cool when they are all
moving and turning. So you can have just the clock running all the
time, and only activate the moving gears when you have company or want
to watch everything move. I have been staring at it all move for the
past 1/2 hour, lol
I have not put this on the wall yet, but will later tonight. I wanted
to snap a few quick pics and post! I am really happy with the quality
of the entire piece. It is very heavy, thick glass, and a silent smooth
moving movement.
