Pendulum GrandFather Clock
MatsClock 1046 is not a normal
grandfather clock you may have seen before. The pendulum in this
grandfather
flash clock is hanging in the air without support and looks as if it is
suspended some sort of magnetic field. But the clock pendulum is
swinging. The only difference in this grandfather pendulum clock is that
it is not swinging on a pivot, but I made the pendulum look like a
metalic ball that is just rolling from left to right and back. I
designed this flash clock without any clock in my mind. I just wanted it
to look like a modern grandfather clock with a graphite finish. I was
just whiling away time when I saw a magnetic levitation train on the TV
and the idea for this grandfather clock frame came up. After that I went
about putting the hour needle followed by a minute needle and a few
mintues later came the seconds needle. Sometimes the design is simple
but takes a long time to decide if it will look good to others.
Unique Animated Grandfather Clock
I endavour to keep all my flash clocks as unique as possible. That is
also the reason why it takes me a long time to come up with an idea for
a clock and then implement it into a clock form. I am sure it must have
been really tough for the carpenters working on the intricate carvings
we see on those really old grandfather clocks which are now antiques.
What is Grandfather Clocks Made Of?
Those were made out of solid brass and the best wood available those
days. Some of the grandfather clocks I have seen in the museums actually
are over 150 years old. It is amazing that people knew about time and
they knew it well. Not only that, they also loved to see the time with
their own eyes instead of know the time. Probably that is why we see so
many old grandfather clocks in almost all the countries world over.
How much Time does it take to Make a GrandFather Clock?
What baffles me the most is that how on earth did they achieve such
beautiful carvings on the wood frame of the clocks. Did they have all
the time in the world. Certainly they were not doing the carpentry and
brass work for our grand fathers's clocks for free like I am designing
my matsclock flash clocks in flash animation software and putting them
up for free on this website matsclock.com I can imagine the time they
might have spend on their clocks because my software flash clocks takes
me over 2 hours for each clock design and some of them are made over
three days. Add another day to design a webpage and put it up with the
clock embedded in it.
