Availability of technologies like the laser cutting machine with illustration softwares (the Adobe Illustrator) has made design and prototyping the Archangel Metatron Standing Clock an easy affair.
I held the naked clock mechanism on one hand, and visually determined a nice mounting height with a steel rule from the table top. The spine, was designed as I measured (and noted) the dimensions of the clock mechanisms case. There, was where I figured out details of holding, securing, and how it may stand on two layers of a rounded base. Decisions about the final dimensions are scribbled on scrap paper (below left).
So what inspired the act to design, and make? Firstly my living room is missing a clock. Secondly I wanted to see how quickly I can create one. Thirdly, a Metatron geometry reminds of balance and harmony in the universe.
