Note that the most you can spend on a clock is still a decimal point less than you can spend on a watch. My favorite - because it's like 9 feet tall and has a 3-second pendulum - is "only" like $200k.
Every now and then I go "It'd be fun to build an Uhrenbausatz M3" and then I go "bitch you've spent like $20k on a CNC machine so you never have to rely on anyone else's clocks ever again. Also you own like five books on making clocks." So yeah I guess my easy button is "spend entirely too much money on a clock kit" because 99.9% of the mechanical clocks out there have a Hermle movement and Hermle is garbage.
I own like $5k worth of gear hobs I should probably freeball like a desktop Riefler escapement or some shit
Trusting you know I'm not trying to put your hobby or you down... man, I'm sure there's some German word for "I marvel with feeling of inadequacy at the detailed handiwork, yet as a whole, the result is too tacky for the Sopranos." That Horse Race clock, in particular, looks like something a potato oligarch would put in his dacha.
