          "Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things." "I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

            Thanks for the nice comments. I think the dark brown bakelite hides a host of sins. πŸ˜‰

            Here's an ivory version of it. They were made in this color, too.

                      No. I didn't want him to admit defeat, though. I just wanted him to see that this sort of stuff is indeed possible. He's declared SketchUp a failure because he can't manage it. And there are many examples of models even much more complex than this one that others have made. Reminds me of the old adage, "It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools."

                      FWIW, I only used two extensions for this clock. Fredo6's Bezier Spline and his Round Corner. Both of these should be the first extensions people install.

                            Nice model and great renders Dave. Very cool in both colours, though I think I like the ivory version best.

                                  Do you have the physical clock or working from photos?

                                    That's a great render. I was sure it was a reference image at first glance.

                                        Hi Dave, really great render.

                                        I found myself here because I'm actually in the process of restoring one of these for my brother, but it's missing the smaller knob and need to fabricate. Wondering if you list any of your renders on any marketplaces? Would like to purchase the sketch file, if possible..

                                        PS - Noguchi called the piece "Measured Time"

                                        Best,

                                        Ron

                                          Thank you Ron. It's cool that you have one of these to restore.

                                          My models are generally not available however I might consider extracting the small knob from this one for you. The knob was modeled from photographs with no actual dimensions and I've never had the pleasure of seeing one of these clocks in person so I can't say it is perfectly accurate. Certainly the back of it wouldn't be detailed but I suppose you could deal with that. How would you fabricate the knob?
