Interpretive mechanical model from Academy 18185 Da Vinci Series G.E.T Clock

The Academy 18185 Da Vinci Series G.E.T Clock kit presents a physical interpretation of one of Leonardo da Vinci's inventive concepts. The model lets enthusiasts explore the interplay of gears and mechanisms that underpin early clockwork ideas.

Historical inspiration and modelling value

Da Vinci's designs often explored mechanical principles alongside aesthetic form. This kit mirrors that intersection, offering builders a chance to study conceptual gear arrangements and to appreciate the ingenuity behind the sketches.

Construction approach and exhibit suggestions

Careful assembly and attention to gear engagement are important for a satisfying result. The completed clock makes a thoughtful exhibit piece, ideal for a shelf or desk where viewers can see the mechanical details up close.

Specifications

  • Scale: Non-scale
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Snap-fit, no glue required

Build time varies with experience, but expect a few focused sessions; allow time for careful trimming and gear testing to ensure smooth operation.
Yes, the assembled model is stable for display; choose a level surface and consider a small base or stand if you plan to move it frequently.
The kit captures the spirit and mechanical intent of da Vinci's ideas rather than serving as an exact historic replica, focusing on demonstrable gear concepts and visual authenticity.
