Handcrafted Scope Clocks with circle graphics
Just received some new pictures of the Model 1 from Hong Kong!
A colleague asked me whether the trailing effect you see on the seconds hand was a photography trick, or something actually visible to the human eye.
Yes, the trailing effect is real, and it’s thanks to a characteristic of the CRT’s phosphor screen called persistence.
(more…)I personally delivered the StokesScope Model 1 clock in late 2010. The excitement! The fervour! We were so giddy we had to take a break in the middle.
All went well except for 1 major mishap, which I will share in a future post. Subscribe so you don’t miss the gory details and lessons learned.
