This was a project inspired by the original Ingraham Grecian Clock.  A lot of the parts were made on a lathe and a RingMaster lathe.  It's made of #1 Poplar and stained with a mix of Mahogany and Chestnut stain.  The large hand is the minutes, the small top ring are the seconds and the small ring at the bottom middle represents the hour.  The other small ring at the "9" position is the date. In the bottom section is a chime box that Plays choice of Westminster 4/4 plus hour strike or Whittington 4/4 quarter hour strikes and counts the hours out.

Cool project David, excellent results!

Now, that's a fine looking clock and stand!

 Nice looking clock. Do you recall where you purchased the clock works?

I will try my best to dig up that information DuckSoup.  It is rated the best sounding quartz mov't, very realistic.  Oh, I should have mentioned that it's a quartz movement....but if you are still interested I will look it up.  It wasn't a cheapie...$73 as I recall.

Most excellent David. Great interpretation of design and finish. Thanks for sharing.

Just a quick clarification about the mechanics of this clock.  There are 4 quartz movements in the dial section 3 cheapies and one that is a date movement that was a little more $ than the other 3.  The chiming function is another quartz movement housed in the bottom section of the case. It was made by Seiko, a non pendulum Westminster/Whittington dual chime movement.  I can't seem to post a link to one for some reason but you can do a search on ebay for it and there are many.  To repeat, none of the movements in this clock are wind up mechanical movements.

That is fantastic!

 

PM me and I'll help you with link posting.

Nice and classy!  I like the clock works too.

Thank you very much Masonsailor, the round frame is 16” in diameter and the clock with the shelf is 33” tall.

I just would like to tell everyone that I really appreciate their comments.  This system of “likes “ and “thanks” and cover photos, profile pictures, ad infinitum is totally foreign to me.  If I miss anyone I am very sorry, it is not intentional.  I will catch on eventually…….thanks again for the remarks and help.  Dave

No problems what so ever. Just ask for help, clarification or use of any of the forum tools. We all were new here at some point.

The main thing is you're here, engaged and posting some really awesome work as well as willing to provide help on how you did it.

That is a very unique clock. Looks like an antique the way you made it. I think I would have to be an engineer to read it tho. Is there some kind of history as to the reason they made it so complicated?

Yes Gerald that was my intent.  Here is an original Ingraham Grecian clock, not very complex although some did have alarms.

The next two photos show an antique clock that I took more style cues from.  Rather than being complex, they are simple in the

fact that the hands are mounted on extensions of the gear shafts of the hour, minute and seconds train.  The date was not incorporated

on these oldies but I wanted to have the date displayed.  As far as reading the time, the clock on the right says 42 minutes after 12.

I suppose people got used to reading them.

 

 

Well however you read that clock it is very cool.

Great looking clock!!

 

Nice Job!!
