Wow amazing! This must have taken so much time and effort. Great job! The only thing was the sound effects were a little loud. That's nothing though -- really amazing work.

Extraordinary work dood :).  I had the book and the pieces but shamefully never put it together :(.

What?!? It takes some real patience to build such paper cogwheels ... I've been building paper models for like ten years and I was always nervous when I had to cut out all those tiny flaps for rounded surfaces and now I see this ... but it makes me wanna build one of those :D

Excellent video! I can't wait to use it to help me build the paper clock that's been sitting on my bookshlef for the past 9 years (since I've never found the time to fully devote myself to its intricacies) My only question is "Why you didn't you show the assmebly of the pendulum, as it is the only visibly moving part in the final real-time sequence?" Other than that, it was awesome and the music and sound effects were perfect!

Wow! I tried making the paper clock twice - the first one I gave up on and the second one kind of worked but never really ticked for very long. I must give it another go!!!

And you animated it while making it - brilliant!
