About this asset

This vintage mechanical table clock SketchUp model features an intricate brass and wood skeleton movement with a bell and Roman numerals. This decorative table clock displays a complex skeleton mechanism, exposing the brass gears, escapement, and counterweights. The circular face features a pale, off-white dial marked with Roman numerals, held by a wooden frame. Above the movement sits a small brass bell and a delicate striking arm. The entire assembly is mounted on a solid, tiered wooden base, providing a stable foundation for the vertical structure. The design emphasizes the mechanical aesthetic, showcasing the warm, reflective qualities of aged brass contrasted against the dark, organic tones of the wood components.
