Mechanical art clock uses a rotating arm to scoop up chrome steel balls evert 60 seconds. The balls fill tracks to represent minutes, 5-minute, and hours intervals. When a track fills up (4 minutes) (59 minutes) (12 hours), the balls drop and trigger the next arm, making a distinctive mechanical clatter. The upper track would fill up at 4 minutes, then the 5th minute ball causes that track to empty while the 5th minute ball is redirected to the 5 minute track. When the 5 minute track is full (55 minutes) the next 5 minute ball redirected by the upper minute track empties the 5 minute track and redirects it's ball to the hour track. At the conclusion of the 12th hour, the redirected 5th minute ball redirected to hour track empties the balls (with the exception of the 1st hour slot (this is a fixed ball) including himself to be reused for the next 12 hours.

To read the time, you look at the minutes track (upper top), the 5 minute track (middle), and the hour track (bottom). Put them together to tell the time.

I have two working clocks and one set that does not work but can provide parts for anyone that needs them.

Working clocks are $190 each but I will listen to a REASONABLE OFFER. The parts are availble for $50.
