While the latest mechanical is being tested and tweaked, some new work has begun. #romannumerals #horology #oneoff #oneofakind #ticktock #clock #clockwork #clockpunk #metalwork

The finished great wheel assembly for my latest. The new mechanical piece is just a couple weeks from the finish line. #horology #oneoff #clockwork #gear #ratchet

Now that the façade of the clock is finished, I have to take it all apart again to work on some of the inside components. No time to stop and stare...Not till it's finished. Sidenote: the clock in the left just sold, which means I don't have any quartz clocks for sale in my online shop right now. Once this mechanical is done I'll be making more. #pieceunique #timepiece #bespoketimepiece #bespoke #luxuryclock #horology #horologist #clockmaker #kineticart #mechanicalart

The frame, the face, and all of the surrounding roman numerals are cut out and assembled. Even though I'm only at about 50%, at this point you can really get an idea of what the final will look like. Also, the clock has been ticking for a week now, and seems to be running perfectly. #brassclock #ticktock #gothic #romannumerals #hautehorology #horology #mechanicalsculpture #clockmaker #oneoff #bespoke #gearporn #clockgears #steampunk #burtonesque #unique #clocksculpture #pieceunique #machinist #coolclock #ericfreitas

Everything is sawed out, and screwed together with the handmade hardware. Time to bust out the foredom and start sculpting. #bespokeclock #bespoke #metalwork #clockmaker #jewelerssaw #piercingsaw #brasswork #customclock #luxuryclock #calligraphy #handlettering #metalletters #steampunk #gothic #ticktock #brassclock

Getting there. I'll probably have everything cut out tonight, and then I can start making the screws to assemble everything :-) #oneoff #oneofakind #customclock #jewelerssaw #piercingsaw #clockmaker #metalwork #bespoke #bespokeclock

Can't wait to take the paper off and carve these suckers up. For alignment & drilling purposes I have to cut everything out first though. #jewelerssaw #horologist #hautehorology #oneoff #oneofakind #customclock #bespoke #calligraphy #metalcalligraphy #brasswork
