72-year-old Richard Pym, who lives in Herefordshire, England, built a huge cuckoo clock the size of a two-storey house. And to be precise, the height of this masterpiece is 7, 5 meters.
The creation of these hours he spent three years of his life, and about 20 000 euros. Impressive and sizes cuckoo. Every hour meter wooden bird "reports" to the people the exact time.
Clock mechanism actuated complex system balances consoles and pulleys generating energy from water flow. In creating watches Richard to use his long experience hydrogeologist.
According to Richard:
In my opinion it's pretty funny and beautiful. I always wanted to do something that would make people smile. Of course it took some time to build a watch, but I created them, and almost all of the work done myself.
His assistant was a local carpenter who helped him with a framework for hours. Everything else, from the complex mechanism of hours, ending with the call of the cuckoo imitation Richard Pym made with their own hands.
P.S. Video demonstrates the complexity of the clock mechanism.
