Exploded view. In the center a decorative 3-layer arrangement of gearing imitates a watch movement. While the main parts of a real watch are represented, the bottom two layers of the original 5-layer design had to be removed to reach the right thickness and volume.

A clock frozen in time, the Time Keeper commemorates a birth date, an anniversary, or any other significant moment in your life, in history, or the future. It will keep that time with perfect accuracy, forever. You set the date and time. You can also include a short message below the date.

UPDATE: The Time Keeper has been thickened 50% to ensure printability.
cm: 5.18 w x 6.94 d x 1.2 h

Odd, yes. But the designer is correct in that it is often done this way for clock faces, something I just learned recently ...

good catch kog. aeron203, you might want to update that, to make 4 be IV instead of IIII

Most antique/old-fashioned clocks use IIII for 4. It is something that tradition has seemed to dictate for centuries. There are many theories as to the origin of this, but let it suffice to say that IIII is considered proper when used on a clock dial. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals#IIII_and_IV

The Roman numeral for 4 is traditionally written as "IIII" on a clock face.

anyone else think it's odd that it goes: I, II, III, IIII, V?

Moving gears cannot be printed-in-place with the metal process, and in fact things need to be touching in several spots to get it to print properly. WSF gears do work though, so expect to see more of those. I hope you do get one! It's very satisfying work to create things that mean a lot to someone.

Do the gears actually rotate (like how puzzles can move), or are they stationary? I think I may get one of these for my wedding later on this year :D

Beautiful model, but will wait to see if it prints.
