Incredible machine writes down the time!

Uploaded by luddite22 on Apr 29, 2009
This amazing machine, which took eight years to develop, contains 1200 parts, and is purely mechanical, writes the time on a card when the button is depressed! Be sure to watch the makers' (Manufacture Jaquet Droz) official digitally-rendered video of their "La Machine a Ecrire le Temps"

@massive0crunt can those clocks WRITE down the time? No? Stfu

@MrSjeanl are you serious? The whole point is it being mechanical and not replace your usual digital watches or normal watches. Close minded people
-
meh... in olden times automatons were fucking amazing
-
THEY MUST OF NEVER HEARD OF A CLOCK
-
automaton?

@MrSjeanl don't call something stupid because it's not practical. It's not meant to be practical at all. it's just a piece of industrial art.

ok i think this is a pretty nice machien but "STUPID"
i took 8 years to build it. and when you wanna know the time you have to wind it up far about a minute and then press a button wait for the machien to wright it down.
again nice build but in my eyes just stupid

I love how this whole video was in focus and I could clearly see the card and what was written on it.
