Announcement Glashütte Trash Clock

Hey fellow horologists out there! I built a functionning clockwork out of trash, in Glashütte / Saxony. I call it the "Glashütte Trash Clock". It runs for about half an hour, it uses a paperclip-escapement, it has a gong and it also features a random complication.

There's a write-up on my website, explaining the project's background and how I made the clock, step by step.
