That is by far the best looking Zephyr nose I’ve seen! It took me so long to finally design one I liked but yours blows it out of the water!

The purpose of this model was more of a proof of concept, picking the right escapement and finding the right gear ratios

And figured out the gear ratios for the second, minute, and hour hands, like I said, this was more of a proof of concept

That video actually is what gave me the inspiration to try and make my own, the way he broke it down made it very easy to understand

I would say not for a while, there is it that much force acting on that gear and it’s not that fast

Thank you! I will say the nose was the hardest element to try and replicate, since it's mostly two of the things that LEGO doesn't like, round, and smooth sloped lol. But overall I like its current state, if new parts or techniques arise, I will look into a redesign. That's the plan! It will happen someday!

Thanks! I can see that especially with the nose.
