Holy gracious sakes… What an incredibly awesome work…
As if you look at this clock and want to continue living… you want to count the seconds of your life… hours, days… years…
This is what a human hand may craft… not just a conveyor resource but an actual heartfelt work… to keep at heart… and cherish…

Absolutely… Indeed! And the butterfly! And the so charmingly tiny but accurate and brilliant eye… of the wise bird…
