We sometimes lament the end of days when tinkerers like Leonardo da Vinci crafted amazing gadgets using a mix of art and mechanics, rather than today's computer code. that old-school approach is what makes the beautifully designed automaton clock called Plock, created by 22-year-old Kango Suzuki, so amazing to behold
Crafted using 407 hand-carved wooden moving pieces, the clock actually writes the time on a small panel at its center. A ****** of weights that hang from the bottom of the clock aid in the motion of the wooden parts which control four magnetic stylus pens that write the 24 hour format time on a magnetic drawing board
