"Grandfather Time" is a grandfather sized rolling ball clock. The clock itself is a spring wound movement. Every fifteen minutes the clock triggers a switch that releases a ball down the track. The track runs from the top to the bottom of the sculpture. As the ball makes its way to the bottom it strikes a single chime. The clock chimes an additional bell sounding out the hour on the hour. The balls that roll the course are one inch clear acrylic balls.

    Yeah, no kidding. Though these do have a vaguely steampunk (Rube-punk?) style to them... I might make one.
