Internal gears within a clock
Clock cogs. Internal gears and cogs in an antique clock on a decorative background. At upper left is the pivot for the hour and minute hands; at top left is part of the seconds face. These cogs form part of a skeleton clock, so called because the internal components are not hidden by an opaque covering. The wheels transfer and regulate motion from the power source to the hands.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the internal gears within an antique clock. Set against a decorative background, these cogs and gears are displayed in all their mechanical glory. Located at the British Horological Institute in Newark, UK, this remarkable piece is part of a skeleton clock, revealing its inner workings without any opaque covering. At first glance, one's attention is drawn to the pivot for the hour and minute hands situated at the upper left corner. It serves as a reminder of time's relentless march forward. Just above it lies a glimpse of the seconds face, adding another layer of precision to this mesmerizing mechanism. These meticulously crafted cogs play an essential role in transferring and regulating motion from the power source to guide the movement of each hand on the clock's face. Their interlocking design symbolizes both complexity and harmony working together seamlessly. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded that technology has come a long way since this antique clock was created. Yet even today, with our digital devices keeping track of time effortlessly, there remains something enchanting about witnessing these timeless mechanisms up close. Science Photo Library has captured not only an object but also nostalgia itself through this image – reminding us that behind every familiar item lies a world of craftsmanship and ingenuity waiting to be explored.
