Nice Aces!

From Tilmann von dem Knesebeck of the Atelier Knesebeck in Hamburg comes some preview pictures of the forthcoming TK7, a horizontal "Triple Aces" tourbillon desk clock.

First we have the cutting of the leaves of a pinion, using 2 lathes. The blue lathe is driving a pinion cutter (a 1 toothed saw) and the shiny chrome lathe is using a dividing plate to equally space the leaves.

Part of the motion works of the clock, showing the double mainspring barrels. On the nearer one you can see a small cut-out near the center for a maltese-cross type stopwork.

Finally the clock in progress!
