Hi All,
here a tribute to HTY watches http://www.hytwatches.com/collection-h1/
I would have loved to make the “pistons” (right pic) more smooth, but it’s impossible to accelerate the “seconds array”, so let say that the “pistons” version is just a test.

Thanks ! Gotta give this a go :+1:

That is a great looking watch to start, and you did a good job on the movement. Thx

OK @mouradOo_ned , you’re onto something here. Now, have a look at this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDyukh08jIQ ) and watch how Andrew Davis has handled pendulums. Then imagine two pendulum clocks lying sideways with their swinging pendulums right where your pistons are located. Offset by just the right amount and properly masked, you could get a realistic working engine effect. Let’s surprise Andrew when he gets back from vacation by turning his pendulum world sideways. You game for it? It’s gonna be a streeeettttccchhh!

I can’t seem to locate Andrew’s original clock post for you to take apart directly, but he scaled a version of it down and used it with Santa here: https://plus.google.com/+AndrewDavis-the-omnipotent/posts/QGaTFc3W8hC

@SmartWatch_Ticks
[thanks for that, I’ll try to find time to figure out something :)]
DONE!!! :slight_smile:
