WOOD GEAR CLOCK GALLERY

Astro - WGC-7

	Astro epitomizes the concept of functional art with innovative styling and a distinctive visual appeal not owned by any other clock, anywhere.The handcrafted wooden gears, exuding the warmth of solid cherry, are unencumbered by frame, cabinet or dial.Beautifully finished wood that has for centuries been simply decorative and static, is now mechanical, in perpetual motion and with purpose tracking our most precious and elusive commodity, time.
The world’s most accurate and reliable wooden gear clock.Accurate to within 1 second per day. Brass escape wheel and precision machined hardened steel pallets. Runs for a full week on a full winding. True epicycloidal gear tooth profiles, computer generated and accurate to within 1/1000 of an inch. Solid cherry gears, each made of up to 30 individual quarter sawn segments of cherry for durability and stability.
	Ball bearings are used to maintain a smooth run and long life Pierced dials ‘float’ as the blood wood hands rotate in front while the gears rotate behind. Hand painted gold numerals on the second, minute and hour dials. Each clock is signed and numbered by the artist; production is unlimited.
A proud new owner of an "Astro" hired a local cabinet maker to create the solid walnut back drop shown here. With or without a special framed back drop, "Astro" quickly becomes the focal point of a room.

Astro is shown here through the front window of " An American Craftsman" gallery on 7th Ave and 51st Street in NYC. The gallery has a fascinating array of art in a variety of mediums. They also have a gallery in Rockefeller Center. If in New York, be sure to stop in for a look.
