The Biggest Floral Clock...

November 18, 2014 at 5:15am we arrive at the site to where the largest clock movement in the Philippines will be installed. Here you can see the clock movement painted in black while the hands still wrapped but ready to be installed.

THE BIGGEST FLORAL CLOCK...

In year 2000 I was doing many tests and experiments hoping that someday I may be able to make electronic circuit like this one. Learned that this small ladies watch caliber ETA 978.001 with 32,768hz quartz oscillator has plenty of semiconductors inside its IC that divide it 15 times and come up with one second divide it further and it has 0.05 or every 20 seconds intervals of motor pulses. One advantage is energy efficiency compared to 3-hands watch movement. Here in the second picture I have done it. I have designed this circuit to have motor pulses of every 30 seconds intervals using also a quartz oscillator as time base and running at +2 to 5 minutes per year. Watch for it how it will move big hands weighing approximately 130 kilos. Now my circuit is ready for action. The 14-meter wide dial is now getting its shape...

THE BIGGEST FLORAL CLOCK IN THE PHILIPPINES

I am working now with my floral clock sized 14-meters in diameter to be installed in the northern part of the Philippines. Using my own design of clock movement with only two active parts to run as a clock- the hour and minute wheels only driven by two separate motors controlled digitally by microcontroller IC. See how its getting shape. This is where the clock movement is going to be mounted. imageanchor="1" > The place for my master control and the speaker box because it has electronic chime. Watch for more development, thanks.

THE SAN BARTOLOME ARCH CLOCK

It's been a long rest for us since we last installed the 2-meter wide tower clock of San Antonio Plaza Arcade in Mckinley Makati one year ago. Now, last May 2, 2014 another clock were installed in Malabon City at the newly built Arch of San Bartolome Parish Church as part of the renovation for their quadricentennial celebrations on May 17. It's another successful installation done by the Big Tic with the help of my artist Ka Rogie a deacon and Ka Mark a member of Scan. Please see the pictures, thank you. On April 30, 2014, the day when we started installing the clock we were not able to install the clock completely, only the dial with motor was installed and rescheduled the mounting of the master control panel because the cement is not dried enough to hold the panel. We came back on May 2, 2014 and completed the job. Another successful job by Le Arsi of Big Tic Clockmaker
