I was extremely wrong in this assumption.Assembly:My kit was missing the cardstock for the clock dials, but I contacted UGears's customer service and they mailed me the parts to me with no charge. Very nice!It took me 3 days to assemble since I spent the time to wax and sand for a soft finish on every surface (it is imperative that a 90 dollar kit should look and feel good). The build was very complex but satisfying to engage with. I however do recommend buying your own set of quality round toothpicks as I found the ones provided to be of quite low quality. Also, consider buying own your supply of paste wax as you will need a lot more wax than what the kit provides.The instructions for installing parts were clear, though I had to look online to understand some of what was happening when it came to the moving/calibration steps - the descriptions there were a bit lacking. Fortunately a QR code in the manual pointed me to videos that I found helpful.Tuning:It was daily process of fiddling with the tourbillon to figure out what needed sanding or further lubrication. After assembly without tuning, the clock would run for a minute at a time before seizing - which wasn't up to my standards.Learning how the mechanism works before fiddling with it and sanding down actual geometries is vital for not bricking this expensive puzzle. I did craft some parts myself, such as a cleaner pallet lever with lower friction gems and a longer guard pin essentially get near perfect performance. It runs as advertised now, keeping up power for 2ish hours before stopping. I am now extremely familiar with the Swiss lever escapement mechanism.If I had some final tips - it would be that friction is the enemy, and always know how things work before deciding to make permanent modifications.Conclusion:This is a very nice kit and the plywood is of good quality. Costumer Service was helpful in proving me with missing parts and had a fast response time. The toothpicks and wax provided are insufficient in quality and amount so it would be best to purchase your own. The Clock is unlikely to work well right after assembly and will require to be taken apart for further tuning. Perfecting the clock is time consuming process and requires a passing level of knowledge or mechanical intuition but doing so will result in a clock that runs as advertised. I recommend this to anyone with a passing interest in these sorts of things and the patience to back it up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars (with a disclaimer) *by on Reviewed in the United States July 19, 2026* This was by far the most rewarding uGears model I've assembled (and I've built 10+ of them, including two builds of this one). Why? Well, most of my assemblies make great shelf ornaments, but this one made my wall look awesome for a full year before I had to take it down for reasons I'll get into below.Let's be clear, this is an advanced build, second only to the Endurance Racer in difficulty among those I've assembled. Don't pick this as your first foray into uGears. Follow the instructions carefully, and be sure to painstakingly sand/lubricate the parts called for in the instructions--and ONLY those parts, which I learned the hard way. Wax the wrong part, and you may make it stick instead of spin.A few tips:1. Soft pencil graphite works a lot better to lubricate the gears/sliding parts, compared to the wax shipped with the kit. It doesn't look as good, but the clock will run more reliably, and for longer.2. Use drywall anchors when you mount it to your wall. Be VERY careful about leveling it accurately, and expect to need a little more weight in the bag than the instructions call for.3. It'll take several days of running to figure out the right tuning to keep accurate time. Since almost every part is wood, it's responsive to weather (humidity and temperature) and will run slower a little slower or faster depending on the season. I usually could keep mine accurate to within 1-3 minutes for each time I wound it. It can run for about 12-18 hours on a single wind.4. Yes, it will eventually respond to physics (gravity + torque) and stop working, though with proper upkeep you can keep it running for a year or more. Unfortunately, even with the solid engineering on this model, pine plywood just isn't able to handle 4-5 pounds of constant tension for years on end.You can't keep it running forever, but I give it 5 stars simply because I think the eventual durability issues come with the territory of working with wood. I loved building and admiring this clock and would highly recommend it for both the quality and the fun of the build. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly complex and well engineered wooden kit, for meticulous people. *by on Reviewed in the United States September 24, 2025* This is an amazing, well engineered wooden clock kit.It is NOT for people who don't have patience and a sense of meticulous order. I assembled the kit meticulously, sanding all gears lightly, and waxing with melted wax. Even so, upon assembly, I had to do a fair amount of lubrication (I used sewing machine oil, which I recommend).I spent maybe 15-20 hours assembling the kit and about 5 hours debugging running issues. I had to add an extra roller bearing to the orbital ring, there are two roller bearings, and the are both on one side, due to the force from the lower spring creating side loads on the upper ring to power the clock. I used spare parts (labeled +) which come with the kit. Note : there were only exactly enough tooth picks, no extras, and my kitchen tooth picks were not the same size, so don't mess up a tooth pick cut.Even with all this careful assembly and de-bugging, it does not run consistently. There is a very slight binding at the same point in the orbital cycle of the escapement mechanism, which I have spent hours trying to debug and I cannot solve it.So, take pleasure in the assembly, and marvel at the engineering, and accurate laser cut of the excellent quality plywood, but don't expect it to be a 24 hour clock. Youtube videos say others have gotten it to run 2-3 hours. ## Frequently Bought Together - UGEARS Wooden 3D Puzzles for Adults - Astronomer Table Clock with Tourbillon Model Kit - Mechanical Clock Kit Functional DIY Miniature Kit Wood Crafts for Adults - Gifts For Puzzle Lovers - 338 Pieces - UGEARS Wooden 3D Puzzles for Adults Aero Clock - Mechanical Puzzles for Adults, Wall 3D Clock Puzzle with Pendulum Model Kit - DIY Miniature Kit Crafts Gift for Fathers Day - 320 Pcs - WOODEN.CITY 3D Wooden Puzzles for Adults Crafts - Industrial Vintage Wall Clock Model Kit - Mechanical Clock Building Kit - Engineering Hobbies --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://congo.desertcart.com/products/394259737-ugears-astronomer-table-clock-with-tourbillon-3d-wooden-puzzles-adults](https://congo.desertcart.com/products/394259737-ugears-astronomer-table-clock-with-tourbillon-3d-wooden-puzzles-adults) --- *Product available on Desertcart Congo* *Store origin: CD* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
