The Tipping Marble Clock
A clock that runs by balancing marbles on a teeter totter! Once every ten minutes, the top seesaw tips, dropping a ball onto the the 10 minutes track. Every hour, the 10 minutes track tips, dropping a ball onto the Hour track, and every 12 hours, all the tracks tip, and the clock starts from 1.
