Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock

Looks as if the parts are well cut and it should be fun to make up.

Read the instructions safty is to be observed. This was very enjoyable to do. The outcome is good. SAFTY FIRST watch the main spring do not release the lock until you put the head on. I almost took the end of my thumb off. When finished the clock was working after a bit fiddle, not much if you follow the instructions. I was patting myself on the back and found the dials were not moving. Had to strip down and found part 21 had broken. I am now waiting for UGEARS to send me a new part.found takes few months to get spare parts but they came. At the minute with the war they take a little longer as I had to send for spares for other puzzles but they still come. You are informed when dispatched and its free great service.

Very disappointed that this is sooooo hard to get it to work, rebuilt 4 times but looks like it’s a great paper weightFollowe videos etc but still no joy,Sorry Ugear but don’t work for meGood luck who ever buys itDenis B

Bought this for my husbands birthday, was delighted with the quality of the kit but when my husband started assembling the kit he found there were parts missing but they were mentioned in the instructions. The missing parts are 21& 22 on sheet 1, parts 55, 54& 56 on sheet 2 and parts 63 on sheet 3. We have emailed the manufacturer but to date have had no reply.

It was a present to my son. He was so excited.

The media could not be loaded. This model is quite fiddly to assemble, but do it carefully and it works really well, and is actually quite accurate. It's obviously not meant as an actual clock, but as a novelty piece, it is excellent and extremely intetesting. I had to add some ptfe spray in one or two places to aid the moving parts, but it ran for hours before I actually decided to stop it. Highly recommended!

This was a gift for someone who loves building things this is ideal very detailed

well made, but with a few design flaws.The kit is well presented with well lasered wood sheets. Instructions are good but you need to carefully check the views as to orientation/direction of view.I built the kit but would not run.Carefully checked against build instructions and built to the book.1. I removed one of the spacers (part number 128) on the forks to prevent the locking pin (part number 129) fowling the escape wheel.2. I replaced the 'toothpick' bearing for the tourbillon cage with a brass pin as this is an area of high friction.3. I added 2 washers to the tourbillon cage pivet to raise the assembly slightly to prevent rubbing on the circular gear track at the top.4. I added 4 rollers (made of brass for ease) to stabalise the tourbillon cage. The two wooden ones (part number 166) were to small to keep the cage vertical.Overall, happy with the kit. With the mods, now runs for about 3.5 hours on a wind.
