Back in 2020, I was contacted by a gentleman from England who had come across my work online and wanted to commission a mechanical clock. He was interested in a large vertically-oriented piece with a perpetual-calendar mechanism and a moon-phase indicator. It was for his holiday home in Grasmere in the Lake District of the U.K.
After a lot of brass, labor, and love, I’m happy to present to you “The Grasmere Commission.”
This clock features what’s known as a “triple date” mechanism. It displays the day, date, and month. The challenge for this particular design was the different locations for all of the dials, which required a group of levers and cams to reach back and forth across the clock. As with many mechanical challenges the added complexity really just led to more brass for me to carve into, which makes it more fun.
This piece also has a moon-phase display that I enjoyed painting. To get the subtle colors and detail I used
