The band in the celestial sphere of the ecliptic that the visible courses of the sun, moon, and planets travel is known as the zodiac. As a result, it is thought that each person was born under a particular zodiac sign. Many believe their zodiac sign directly influences a person's personality and even fate. Numerous hypotheses relating to the zodiac signs inspired the Kinetic Clock: Zodiac.
Zodiac—Special Clock: Kinetic Clock
Our engineers have just created a brand-new creation called the Kinetic Clock: Zodiac. The primary mechanism of the clock features a futuristic design that makes it appear "suspended" in the air.
Because of a tiny motor and a motion sensor chip, Zodiac also serves as a natural clock. The battery-operated clock has buttons on the back to set the precise time and turn it on and off. The zodiac signs are engraved along the edge of the clock.
What if the clock could predict your future as well?
The Kinetic Clock: Zodiac is a specialized WoodTrick 3D wooden model. Our engineers built it intending to incorporate a minimalist design and all necessary features into one model.
Sanded plywood is used to construct the model's component sections. It feels good to the touch and is secure for the environment and your wellness. Even without glue, you can put together the clock!
The clock's assembly is explained at great length in the instruction manual. Don't be concerned if this is your first time using prefabricated models. The entire process will take you a few hours!
Such a clock can be placed on your nightstand or given to a close friend or family member. All puzzle enthusiasts, clock collectors, and those who enjoy odd surprises would love such a gift! You'll find engraved constellations on the clock's back that will induce space voyage dreams.

Dieses 3-D Puzzle hat mich interessiert, weil ich den Mechanismus dahinter spannend finde.
Es war bei Amazon kurzfristig vergriffen, also bestellte ich beim Hersteller in Polen für 99,95€ incl. Versand mit UPS. Ging recht zügig.
Das Set besteht aus 3 gelaserten Sperrholzplatten. Das Holz hat eine feine geschliffene Oberfläche. Die einzelnen Teile lassen sich gut herauslösen. Manchmal muss man etwas nacharbeiten (Nagelfeile / Schleifpapier), aber das lässt sich nicht vermeiden. Die Teile sind sehr! passgenau, da gibt‘s nicht zu meckern.
Da dies nicht mein erstes Puzzle war, hatte ich auch keinerlei Bedenken wegen Komplexität.
Man tut gut daran, sich Nagelfeile 400er Schleifpapier und ein kleines Kuttermesser zurecht zu legen. Die Anleitung ist sehr gut. Alles wird Punkt für Punkt mit reichlich Bildern beschrieben und man tut gut daran, diese Anleitung genau zu folgen. Die einzelnen Teile sollte man auch erst unmittelbar vor Gebrauch herauslösen.
Stück für Stück entsteht so ein schönes dekoratives Modell. Eine echte Geduldsprobe war für mich der schwebende Mechanismus. Aber auch hier ist das Zusammensetzen sehr gut bebildert mit Markierungen auf den maßgeblichen Teilen. Hier muss sehr vorsichtig gearbeitet werden damit nichts zerbricht.
Und das Beste: Die Uhr funktioniert am Schluss tadellos und sogar recht genau.
Schon am Zusehen kann man sich erfreuen.
Noch etwas für die elektrotechnisch Interessierten. Die Stromversorgung erfolgt entweder über einen Batteriepack (4*Micro, AAA) oder über einen (Micro) USB-Anschluss.
Der Antrieb erfolgt über einen kleinen Getriebemotor, gesteuert von einem ATmega 48. Der Anschluss zur Programmierung, 6-polige Stiftleisete ist bestückt. Wer sich also mit ATmega auskennt, kann hier seinem Spieltrieb freien Lauf lassen (DCF77?).
Aber wir wollen die Kirche im Dorf lassen, In erster Linie ist es ein spannendes, dekoratives und hübsch anzusehendes Modell dessen Bau herausfordert.
I liked this a lot.
Its the first i´ve bought that runs on batteries instead of a build-in mechanism. So i was a bit hesitant if i would enjoy it as much.
But it is really nice. I has a central placement on my wall.
Beautiful creation, Team Woodtrick!
I am delighted with the technical solution of the gear transmission but also the aesthetics and the appearance of the assembled hour.
This is the second hour I made.
The first was the "modern" performance and the second "zodiak"
I enjoyed it as I folded them.
Since they are a unique gift, I check that there will be additional clock price reductions to make another gift.
All recommendations to buy
A friend was so impressed with the model I had made, he asked if I could get one for him.
Instead, he did not know that his wife had already asked me to acquire one for his birthday. One happy birthday I gather.
Well as well of enjoying building the Zodiac Clock I have used it for more than 3 months now and it has kept PERFECT timing. It is also something of a talking point when friends are here.
Well done Woodtrick and enjoy life. Bob S
I studied transport and technology at university and I’ve always had a passion for engineering. And I gladly joined the WoodTrick team because here I can do all these cool things. I love to create! I believe that nothing is impossible if you have skills and a good imagination. I love everything we do, but especially the car designs. My favorite models are Monster track and Rover. Try them!
