Ascent: a rising upward; a moving from a lower to a higher state. This clock is called the Ascent for two reasons. While it is natural to first look at the hands and dial of any clock, the Ascent draws your eyes upward from the dial through the moving gears, to the visible escapement rocking back and forth. But also, the Ascent represents an upward journey; crafting a working clock brings a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of advancement.
This wooden clock is about 26″ tall with a 12″ diameter dial. A 3.5 lb weight drives the wooden mechanism, which is regulated by a 44″ pendulum. The clock runs for over 24 hours per winding, making it a ‘1-day’ clock.
Like all of our wooden gear clocks, the Ascent kits are manufactured from high quality hardwood-veneered MDF.
The Ascent clock kit includes every part needed to make your all-wood clock. All wooden components are precut and all hardware is included. No cutting or drilling is required. The only item you will need to complete your clock is 3-4 lbs of metal shot to fill the weight shell.
A detailed instruction manual is included, but if you ever do have questions, we are happy to assist you.
