Description
The Aero Clock is a fully functioning mechanical wall clock driven by a weight – designed as an air base among the clouds.
Gravity does the work: fill a bag with sand or salt and raise it on its pulleys to wind the clock. As the weight slowly descends, it turns a drive gear, which drives the escape wheel through a reducer. The pendulum engages via the anchor for a steady tick-tock, and sliding its top and bottom weights lets you adjust the clock to the second.
A fixed pointer shows the time on an hour disc and a minute disc that rotate counterclockwise. On the hour, a hot air balloon drops quickly, then slowly rises again over the next hour – this clock's "cuckoo".
A project for several evenings – 320 parts, about 11 hours. Size: 75 × 47 × 16.5 cm.
Key features:
- Weight drive with bag and pulleys
- Anchor escapement with adjustable pendulum
- Hour and minute discs with fixed pointer
- Hot air balloon marks the hour
- Theme: early aeronautics

Craftsmanship
Built to be shown
From 320 parts to an art object for your shelf – built with your own hands.
Laser-cut edges, open mechanics, visible wood grain: every part is laser-cut from plywood so precisely that it fits without glue. Gears, levers and shafts stay visible – the mechanism is part of the design.
Designed by UGEARS, a Ukrainian brand, produced in the EU. We have been bringing the models to Germany as the exclusive importer since 2015 and ship from Germany. If a part breaks while building, spare parts are free.
