Her large, nearly 14” diameter wheel and unique escapement make Solaris the focal point of the room. Her unusual, and very forgiving escapement releases every two seconds with a sound quite unlike anything else. It is not your usual “Tick Tock." Ten leaf pinions used throughout make for an extremely smooth mechanism.

This beautiful Solaris was built from my plans by my friend, amazing craftsman Adrian Iredale. You can see her in action on the YouTube video player below:
