Working on holiday theme plates that would drop behind the clock face similar to the Moon Phase clock but without
turning. Hmmm that would be neat too have the moon phase gear move much faster with the holiday themes on it lol...
Right now Im doing the Desk Pendulum Clock and figuring out how I would just slide the theme plate down behind the face. since there is the wide brace there in the middle of the clock face the theme plate could have a cut out in the middle just to slide it down without having seeing the opening in the middle of the plate. So far doing a Halloween plate :-)
lol.... I never realized until now there's no center support. I'm doing too many things at once 😂
btw That is my favorite clock. I get many comments on how beautiful it is when I have people over.
That looks so awesome. The two tone layering looks incredible.
It would be really easy to add a static plate inside the dial on any clock. It can become the support for the center hole, so the vertical bar can be eliminated.
Slow speed motion could be integrated into the hour hand gear. But it really needs faster motion which becomes difficult on a weight driven clock. The crazy gear desk clocks seem like great candidates. Replace the center post with a haunted house with a hole in the roof. The ghosts could be flying out of the house and back in. The outer gears could contain bats and other creatures.
