Academy 2018 NEW Da Vinci Clock 10"

This model clock was a little tricky to assemble, particularly since the included English instructions were far too small to be legible, but you can just google a high-res pdf of those instructions. Although the parts are plastic and some are fairly small, the clock is surprisingly sturdy and functional (although the timekeeping is not accurate).

Pretty easy to put together.Cool little thing. It has a bit too much friction to keep going, but aside from a few snags it keeps running.

I built a nearly identical clock in the late 1970's. Comparison with the quality of this model, the 1970's model was much more robust. Parts are pretty flimsy and the English assembly instructions leave a lot to be desired. You need a magnifying glass just to see the illustrations or read the words. To make it run reliably, you need much more weight in the bucket than it can hold in coins. I would suggest lead sinkers from a sporting goods store. It is an acceptable toy.

Love this. Fun to put together. Remember to file off any tabs left attached to the parts after seperating them from thier forms so that it works smoothly when it is assembled.

Item was cheaply made. Instructions are just a picture. Item didn’t work after assembly

The item is a model and require putting it together. The instructions is picture diagrams, without english. The parts are plastic.

The media could not be loaded. Plastic parts fit together precisely, much better than I expected. Pictorial instructions were very good, English language version included. Very ingenious mechanism. Since you put every piece together yourself you can understand how it operates.Note:Clock only runs for a few minutes. To increase this time, you can use the wall mount option so a longer string for the weight can be utilized.Plumb bob weight on the right side of clock has no purpose.

This clock/timer is neat. All plastic and used quarters for weight but easy to put together and great conversation piece. Works well and neat to watch.
