Operating Huge Roman Numeral Clock

The purpose of this Instructable is to walk through the operations for setting the time on the Huge Roman Numeral Clock. The high-torque movement used in this project was very simple, so things like accounting for daylight savings time were not necessary to set the time. In all, it was a very easy process for setting the time.

Tools Used: None (outside of those needed to build the clock itself)

Materials Used: High-torque movement clock motor, large clock hands (12” minute hand), and 1 AA battery

With the clock hands attached to the high-torque movement motor, wind the hands until they are at noon. It’s best to cycle the hands through a 12-hour period to see if there are any interference between the hands or between the hands and the face of the clock.

With the hands set to noon, use the time-adjust knob on the back of the motor, adjust to the current time.

Insert one AA battery.

Mount the clock and enjoy!
