Build an engine clock model. This finely tuned clock runs like a motor. When finished, this clock is functional and features an automotive theme—it has a time display of a speedometer (hours) and tachometer (minutes). It even makes a ticking sound, and once you wind it up, it can tell time for up to 5 hours! This set comes with everything you need for your no-glue-required project. Pieces come pre-cut in the wooden boards, ready for you to snap together. The finished model measures about 5.6” x 11.8” x 4.7” and can be painted using thin paints or watercolors for an even bolder effect. This is an intermediate-level project with 265 pieces and an assembly time of about five hours. Recommended for ages 14 and up.

Description
Publisher's Description of Ugears 3D Wooden Mechanical Model Engine Clock
What do they say about a finely-tuned motor—it runs like clockwork? Flip the script with the Ugears Engine Clock, a finely-tuned clock that runs (and looks) like a motor! This functional mechanical table clock with pendulum has an automotive theme throughout, with an engine block design on top with moving pistons, and time display in the style of a speedometer (hours) and tachometer (minutes). The action of the clock's pendulum and escapement make a delightful ticking sound, as the passing seconds are displayed on the escapement at the rear of the clock. The Engine Clock tells time for up to 5 hours on a single winding (running time can be extended an additional 60 to 90 minutes if the pistons are disengaged). A retrograde mechanism on the minute hand automatically resets after 60 minutes.
