Mike on a bike Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 WOW ! Imagine the stir that made back then, pretty damn amazing now!!
SSTEEL Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 Hard to imagine the response that would of got from the public 200 years ago. Amazing!
jpz5142 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 Wow, wonder how much that costs. Then and now...
436NR Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Posted June 9, 2014 I liken this as a precursor to automatons; where watchmakers created mechanical wonders as if they were almost bragging about their skills.
lhooq Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 IMPRESSIVE, i WONDER HOW THE SOUND IS MADE OR ?! Bellows driven by pistons! Jacquet-Droz had a prototype "Charming Bird" wristwatch similar to the OP's automaton in last year's Baselworld. I'm not sure if they've developed the design further. (It's not like I'm on the waiting list.)
droptopman Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 Very cool, but I am waiting for the clone/rep Sent from my droptop using telepathy.
