Thank God there are guys like this man smart enough to figure this stuff out.  Without them, I'd never be able to tell what time it is.

This man has incredible craftsmanship.  Truly art!

Thanks for posting.  Very interesting read and great videos. 

BTW . . . . that second hand didn't look that hard to paint.  OH . . . .wait . . . . it was magnified like 50 times . . . never mind!
