UGears: Engine Clock (265pc)

What do they say about a finely-tuned motor—it runs like clockwork? Flipthe script with the Ugears Engine Clock, a finely-tuned clock that runs (andlooks) like a motor! This functional mechanical table clock with pendulum has anautomotive theme throughout, with an engine block design on top with movingpistons, and time display in the style of a speedometer (hours) and tachometer(minutes). The action of the clock's pendulum and escapement make a delightfulticking sound, as the passing seconds are displayed on the escapement at therear of the clock. The Engine Clock tells time for up to 5 hours on a singlewinding (running time can be extended an additional 60 to 90 minutes if thepistons are disengaged). A retrograde mechanism on the minute handautomatically resets after 60 minutes.

Wind your Engine Clock using the ignition key at the front of the clock. Toset the time, turn the large gear closest to the face of the clock (theretrograde mechanism) in a clockwise direction until the minute hand falls tozero, then use your finger to move the hour hand counterclockwise, positioningit at the current hour. Set the minute hand at the current time by again turningthe large gear just behind the clockface. If the clock is running fast or slowyou can make adjustments to the pendulum. Raise or lower the circular weight atthe bottom of the pendulum for larger time adjustments, and raise or lower theball at the top the pendulum for fine-tuning.
