Vintage Wooden Gear Wall Clock Kit for DIY

Introducing Our Brand's Story

Have you ever wondered how we got our start? It all began with a simple activity for our child's birthday party - we made a set of trebuchet kits on a whim. Little did we know, the parents who attended the party would start asking where they could purchase one. This sparked an idea, and soon we were making dozens, then hundreds, and eventually thousands of these wooden model kits.

Fast forward fifteen years, and we now offer over thirty different wooden model kits, all meticulously designed and produced in our own factory. What sets our products apart? We are a family-owned and operated business, and every product we create starts with our own desire to learn. Each kit goes through countless test builds, revisions, and extensive instruction writing and rewriting before it reaches the market.

Discover the Crossingham Clock: A Simplified Mechanical Masterpiece

One of our flagship products is the Crossingham Clock, a truly remarkable mechanical clock kit. By minimizing the number of gears, this clock is simple to build and tune, yet it retains all the features of a genuine pendulum wooden gear clock. With this kit, you can build a working clock in a single weekend!

The heart of this clock is the precision pallet and escape gear mechanism, which provides the familiar tic-toc heartbeat, just like quality timepieces have had for centuries. The hour and minute hands are fully functional, connected to the minute wheel through a 60:1 dial train, allowing you to proudly display all the inner workings of this open-frame mechanical clock.

No Batteries Required, Just Counterweight-Driven Simplicity

The Crossingham Clock is completely driven by a weight that slowly lowers to the ground, with a ratchet and pawl spool system that makes rewinding a breeze. This weight-driven system allows the clock to run for more than twelve hours on a single wind, without the need for batteries.

Thoughtful Design and Precision Components

We've made the assembly process as simple as possible, with digital instructions that guide you through each step with clear illustrations and well-written text. These instructions are always up to date, ensuring you have the latest tips and tricks for a successful build.

The kit includes precision-cut parts, carefully designed to fit together seamlessly into a working gear clock. High-quality components, such as accurate, low-friction carbon fiber axles and high-strength braided Dacron, are used throughout to ensure your clock will last.

Proudly Made in Canada

We are fiercely proud that our kits, including the Crossingham Clock, are designed, prototyped, and manufactured at our own factory outside Toronto, Canada, using locally sourced wood products. In these uncertain times, we have made the conscious decision to only use materials we can verify the origin of, ensuring our commitment to sustainable and ethical practices.

Whether you're a first-time clock builder or a seasoned enthusiast, the Crossingham Clock kit offers a unique and rewarding DIY experience. Bring the beauty of a mechanical clock into your home and enjoy the satisfaction of creating your own timeless masterpiece.
