We reject the contemporary paradigm of temporary value. Every linkage, bearing, and weight is built with the assumption that it will continue operating for centuries.
To achieve this, we design out points of failure. We avoid complex fasteners that depend on elastic tension; instead, we utilize gravity, weighted interlocks, and hand-fitted pins. Pivot points are constructed from hardened metals that resist wear, designed to be manually calibrated with basic custom-made tools. By creating systems that can be easily understood and adjusted by future owners, we ensure our work remains active long after its maker has departed.
