This design I call the Nautilus. This beautiful clock beats about 90 times a minute, and "tinkles" the hour by lifting, and then dropping the curved, horizontal arm, thus causing the chimes to sound. I wanted to create a striking clock that didn't intrude upon ones conciousness, where the hourly strike is more of a happy afterthought.
