Rolling Ball Timer Replica from Italeri 3113 - Hands-On Kinetics

The Italeri Da Vinci Rolling Ball Timer recreates an early mechanical timing concept in kit form. Its gravity-fed beads and pivoting platform interact with precision gears to show a continuous, observable movement that appeals to mechanically minded modellers.

Learning Through Mechanical Reproduction

This kit channels Leonardo da Vinci's inventive studies and turns them into a practical learning project. Builders can see how simple forces translate into controlled motion, offering both a historical reference and an engineering exercise.

Tips for Building and Showcasing

Careful assembly leads to a smooth-running kinetic model; align gear teeth and avoid over-gluing to preserve motion. Once finished, the timer makes an engaging desk piece that highlights mechanical function rather than pure ornamentation.
