This kit builds one in wood, big enough to watch. The escapement sits inside a sphere that turns on two axes at once, spinning through a full 360 degrees, like a small mechanical armillary sphere tracing orbits on your desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" alt=\"Spherical Tourbillon Chronograph showing intricate mechanical movement and wooden construction — Gearfinch\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/0754\/2706\/files\/gearfinch-spherical-tourbillon-chronograph-mechanical-wooden-027-wechatimg520-6386ff7fd1.jpg?v=1785864514\" height=\"1416\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWind It and Watch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no battery anywhere in this build. A key-wound spring drives the whole mechanism, and one full wind keeps it running for roughly an hour. The sphere moves, pauses, and moves again while the gear train ticks along — the kind of motion you can sit and watch longer than you meant to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" alt=\"Detailed view of the wooden construction and mechanical components of the tourbillon clock — Gearfinch\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/0754\/2706\/files\/gearfinch-spherical-tourbillon-chronograph-mechanical-wooden-026-wechatimg518-28bb7dca9f.jpg?v=1785864512\" height=\"1474\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 218 precision-cut wooden components go together over an afternoon — plan on 2 to 4 hours.
