This piece was made for a professor who had seen my "Man vs. Machine" at a previous Ann Arbor show. He commissioned me to do a time machine version as he was into mid-century science fiction and such. The mechanisms got more and more complicated as the piece developed (see detail photos of mechanisms). The most complicated and time consuming part was the 'year' with the 4-digit readout. It was one of those things that sounds easy but turned out, to get it to operate properly, more difficult than I had anticipated.
