This took just a couple of weeks shy of 2 years and countless hundreds of hours to complete. Finally, after the input of around 40 people and ultimately the skills of uber-scripter Grandma Bates and Matias Carter, it was done.
What does it do? Well, it's a clock with a difference. You can put it on the floor, a wall or at whatever angle you choose. The orbs will rotate around each other and the edge of the water. It takes a little under 3 hours to complete the circuit, which is the equivalent of 1/2 a sl day (ie 12 hrs in real time - just like a real clock)
Now, you're going to look at it and go "Is that it?" and the answer is yes. A very simple idea for a sculpture, yet there are very few people in SL who can create the code.
For those of you who are geeky enough to be impressed by the miracle of LSL delivered here, you should be.
Those of you who want a stunning piece of art that you will never see anywhere else or are an avid timepiece collector, you won't be disappointed.
There's a potted history of the development of this piece included in the box. When you buy this, you become part of the story.

Simple but compelling
I do like to collect art in SL, and I especially like kinetic art. This is one of the nicest pieces I've bought. It's very simple on the face of it, but actually it's beautifully made and scripted, and is almost hypnotic to watch. It's pretty large so you'll need a decent wall to display it, but at 350L there's almost no other reason not to buy it!
