This big wall clock Automaton Bite 1682 Mjölnir is made of several layers of wood, woodstained and painted high quality acrylic paint and a piece of acrylic mirror. The front elements of the clock are decorated with detailed and intricate engraving. Stainless steel elements and copper coated screws are used in the construction of this clock model. While making the design of a new clock we were inspired by Mjölnir which is in Norse mythology the hammer of Thor, the Norse god associated with thunder. Mjölnir is depicted in Norse mythology as one of the most fearsome and powerful weapons in existence, capable of leveling mountains. The Prose Edda relates how the hammer's characteristically short handle was due to a mistake during its manufacture. The hands motion is complemented by the movement of 4 gears each of which is an AA battery operated. The mirror on the background adds some volume to the clock and amplifies the movement effect, transforming the clock into a kinetic installation. Upon request the clock can be personalized with a text engraving, which will neatly supplement the look of the clock face. Clock size 36x36 cm / 14x13 in *AA batteries are not included **the clock hands can slightly differ from those you see on the pictures
