Challenging but enchanting
Based on retro-style mechanical timepiece, LK501 features a precise pendulum mechanism which requires more attention and patience. But the sense of fufillment is also doubled. After fully wound up, it can keep working for 3~4 hours maximum, prolonging the building fun as much as you want.
- a gravity-swing pendulum with precise anchor escapement
- appealing outlook of mechanical engineering
- double fun of model building & brain teasing
- perfect gift for mechanical lovers or family & friends

Fun project. Takes about 4 hours. Meant to be more of a conversation piece. Something to impress yourfriends. Not really important that it may get stuck after a few minutes. It was not meant to be a precision time piece. A lot of fun. I mean ITS A WOODEN CLOCK!!! Cool in itself.

I’ve done a tutorial video on how to build this clock. It takes a bit of tweaking to get right, so i hope this helps.

Like the others, I too put this item together. While I do enjoy a puzzle, this one appeared to be a working clock. As the others, the pendulum and the other cog do not work for more than a few swings, then stops.

Fun to build, even if the instructions are a bit difficult to see/follow at times. Unfortunately, it will only run for a few minute before stopping. It seems the balance of the pendulum or timing of the gear it meshes with is off. 1 or 2 stars, at best. (Would give it 5 if it actually worked.)

Build to plan, very nice fitting of Parts. Unfortunatly the Clock will not run for long, although all the wheels turn freely. It seems the construction of the Pendulum and the corresponding cogwheel do not harmonise. Quality of the Wood is another matter, since many parts come allready twisted and bend.
