Beautiful work on the clock.

Hi Fatih

I love your clock. It's very special. Impressive. Could we see a photo from the back? I am assuming there is a battery tucked away somewhere. That's quite a unique design with the movement of the gears displaying the time instead of hands. Hope I've got it right. Did you design it yourself? Look forward to seeing more of your clocks.

Hi Fatih,
Very nice work indeed!
How long does it take to make a clock like this?
What timbers do you use?

Wow, thats incredible fatih, well done

Fantastic looking clock fatih. Do you make them from an available design or do you design them yourself? Where do you wind it?

Welcome to the forums.

Fatih, it is great to see a different take in wooden gear clockmaking. Can you show us more of the mechanical aspects of the movement?

Also, which part of Turkey are you from?

You might be interested to know that there is a clock section on this forum. Just scroll down the forum list to find it.

Hi !
You are right there is a quarts mechanism at the back of clock. You know that power is nearly zero so to transmit is very difficult from one gear to another. Gear that shows second takes its power from quarts clocks pivot.
Design is belong to me also patent of this clock is belong to me.

Hi. everyone
I am realy glad to be in this from from Turkey that I want to show you my Wooden Gear World Clock. Patent of this clock is belong to me. All parts of this clock were made by me and my wife. I used walnut, hornbeam and lime as timber. They are very old timbers the thickness of gears are 5 mm.
Clock shows Turkey, France, England and U.S.A (ny) times as hour, minute and second in one clock. I only made this clock two pieces. Mistakes on showing time is nearly 5 second in a year that it is very normal.
I use a quarts clock movements as a power that its pover is nearly zero. So transmit is very difficult from one gear to another.
You can show TRT TV feature in YouTube if you search as Fatih Abacioglu Dişli Saat Wooden Gear.
I also have some interesting clocks.
