This fascinating model kit is based on da Vinci's studies of escapement mechanisms. It uses the laws of motion and a unique "flying" pendulum escapement to keep accurate time. Once assembled, the pendulum's own weight acts as the clock's power source, creating a functional and educational piece of history for your desk or shelf.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian scientist and artist born during the Renaissance era. He is widely regarded as one of history's most talented inventors and designers, whose work anticipated many aspects of modern science and technology, including the detailed study of mechanical timekeeping devices.
