[How does your outcome relate to other work in the field? What makes it similar or different to other objects of the same genre? How have other objects failed to solve the problem you have identified?]

Some clocks and other mechanisms used to work on a gear system. I took this method and used it as a focus for my design. However, my design differs in the sense that those gears were typically all the same and I used multiple different gear shapes and sizes. Other objects sometimes fail in allowing the time to be easily noticeable because of design, but this clock easily allows the time to be seen.
