Academy 18185A Da Vinci - G.E.T. Clock

Be amazed by the extraordinary mechanism and genius of the Italian inventor with the Academy 18185A Da Vinci - G.E.T. Clock model. This innovative, educational model kit presents one of Leonardo da Vinci's groundbreaking designs – a clock based on a system of gear trains, a precise escapement mechanism, and the so-called Tourbillion movement. The uniqueness of this construction lies in combining historical engineering thought with modern precision, as well as the ability to assemble a fully functional model by yourself.

• Scale: the model is not based on a specific traditional scale; it is a precise replica of the clock mechanism for self-assembly.
• Product Category: educational set/mechanical model for self-assembly.
• Country of project origin: Italy, original design by Leonardo da Vinci.
• Material: high-quality plastic, very precise and perfectly fitted parts. Everything can be assembled without the use of glue.

The presented model replicates a clock that works on a gear mechanism and Tourbillion movement, which was created by Da Vinci during the Renaissance (15th/16th century). This system showed the world, for the first time, how it is possible to improve the accuracy of time measurement by minimizing the impact of gravity on the clock mechanism. Such designs served as the foundation for later mechanisms in advanced mechanical clocks, not only in Italy but throughout Europe.

Thanks to its thoughtful design, the Academy 18185A kit not only allows you to build the model but also offers hands-on learning about the operation of a classic clock mechanism. The package includes clear instructions and all necessary parts for assembly – there is no need to use glue, which makes the build process more comfortable and eliminates the risk of staining the components. This is a perfect proposition for model making enthusiasts with a technical flair, as well as for anyone interested in the history of technology and science.

We rate the set's complexity as 2/5 – the model is intended for older children, teenagers, and adults alike. Once assembled, it can become an original, educational decorative piece or serve as an inspiring educational tool.

We recommend this product: for enthusiasts of the history of technology, modelers, teachers, and anyone who wants to combine learning with creative fun. The model allows you to immerse yourself in the world of the Renaissance technical revolution and enjoy the satisfaction of building a fully functional clock mechanism designed by Da Vinci with your own hands.
