    NAWCC Watch & Clock Podcast Episode 6: Tempus Ex Machina

    In this podcast, we interview Mark Frank who, 12 years ago, commissioned a complex astronomical skeleton clock to be built by Buchanan of Chelmsford, a brilliant engineer in Australia. Frank describes the clock as being "born of a happy convergence of artist and artisan, exuberant creativity, and exquisite craftsmanship." Now that the clock is completed, Frank reflects on the creative process, collaboration, and building of the clock along with the many challenges and discoveries on the way to its completion.
