Between whimsy and science lay the water clocks of Bernard Gitton.

Those are really cool, but where do they lie now?

The "whimsy" and "the" linked clocks are still there and running. There is also one running in England but I have not been able to find any pictures.

Those are absolutely amazing . . . they rub my brain/rods/cones in all the right places. Wonder if there's a home model?

I've seen the first one [whimsey] it's really neat.

littlegreenlights. From what I have been able to find (I haven't paid the fee for the last link) the small models go for around 20K. A bit rich but wow I would love one.

These are too cool! I love "toys" that use water and science principles to work! Puts me in mind of Galileo's thermometer.
