Marble Clock Saga: • MARBLE CLOCK
In my quest to build a marble clock that displays seconds I got to a point where none of the things that I've tried worked reliably so I went back to the drawing board and after internalizing that this marble clock is in itself an absurd machine and that no one can stop me I went all in and built a contraption that at the same time that makes no sense it also works reliably and will make the clock able to work 100% of the time.
This is just one fourth of the total assembly that I have planned for the mechanism required to show one of the two digits required to show seconds and I'll probably merge this clock with the original one so It can show at the same time the complete time with hours, minutes and seconds and make some marble "music" at the same time.
From what I've experienced and If I manage to build it entirely, this will be the first clock that can be detected by a seismograph.
Marbles!!!

I find it strangely enjoyable to watch people people being driven crazy from building marble contraptions.
-
Did anybody else set out 8 months ago to get sucked into a once-per-month saga about a marble clock? Me neither, but I'm still here for it!😂
-
Thank goodness somebody is investing huge amounts of time into unnecessary contraptions, so I don't have to.
-
"Clocks should work all the time" "We don't need disasters" You gotta love this guy's philosophy! 😂
-
Truly I cannot express how invested I am in this marble clock. Thank you for all the joy these videos bring me
-
I am a 73-year-old grizzled engineer, pretty tough to impress. Every single one of your videos is totally inspirationa and keeps in the shop MAKING THINGS. Thank you..
-
That second display is absolutely huge. I love these renaissance people sort of rediscovering what goes into engineering and the process getting there.
-
Who doesn't love an over-engineered solution to a problem that nobody have? This project keeps getting crazier.
-
"a clock should work like... all the time" was a very clever line. just enough of a gap for everyone's brain to finish the joke before switching it to a different punchline. 👌👌
-
Ok, Interesting. I can't wait to see how you manager to get multiple of them close enough to read as a clock.
-
I’m not an engineer, scientist, or mathematician, but I find your whole series about your marble clock journey so entertaining! Can’t wait for the next video!
-
This is a beautiful "tick tock" addition for the clock!
-
Another commenter nailed it on my feelings…such joy from watching something that must be so frustrating and yet an incredible sense of accomplishment to figure out such a complex puzzle. Thanks Ivan for bringing us along on this ride!
-
Not only you make things work, you make things beautiful, aesthetic and functional, which is truly a awesome trade. This clock looks so ancient and futuristic at the same time, it’s mesmerizing.
-
I was jusr thinking about when the next episode was coming, and here it is!!
-
Best part of these videos is the "yes, it works!", you can clearly see how excited and proud he is after making it work after hours of engineering :D
-
Awesome approach! Nice solution with the camshaft and I'm looking forward to the rest of the project!
-
Milliseconds when?

The Marble Clock saga has been a masterclass in practical engineering. This latest revision is a great demonstration of "going back to the drawing board" and I love it. The result is an simpler, more elegant design that works more accurately than previous iterations. Bravo!!
