About Glashütte Trash Clock

A 30-minute pendulum clock made from trash

In the maker’s words

This is a functional 30-minute pendulum clock entirely from discarded materials—cardboard, zip ties, tape, a yardstick, and a paperclip escapement, built in the German Eldorado of precision watchmaking: Glashütte. It also acts as a reference clock for GTC, a new satirical universal time standard.
