I love the elegant simplicity of the front and the massive complexity of the innards.
Just as an aside you can buy a single hand tide clock mechanism from klockit.com for $10

I’d never heard of a tidal clock either so I had to look it up. I really like the rounded corners with the dovetails. Simple, clean lines make the quality of the woodworking really stand out. The brass details look sharp against the paduak.
Are you going to finish it? I notice the unfinished paduak I have will get a white haze on it if it isn’t finished.

That is so cool! Lovely work, and a fun gadget. It reminds me of the beautiful old oak and brass nautical instruments like you see in museums.
