What Makes It Uncommon

A Clockwork Orangerie

Who says you can't appreciate the natural world just as much as you love a good old-fashioned gear? Certainly not Chris Crooks, whose Garden Gears Outdoor Clock & Thermometer—both made of rustic, expertly hand-finished steel—marry form and function, bringing a bit of industrial chic back into the vegetable patch. With hardware that lets you hang two ways, mounting either design on a wall or a post is a breeze. Just protect from rain and you're good to go, assuming you can tell analog time. Handmade in Arizona.

Sold individually.

I started out from my garage. As the business grew, and my wife’s and neighbors' patience stretched, it was time to move to an industrial space. There I can bang and grind at all hours of the night. It's 1,000 square feet of pure metalworking nirvana.

Chris Crooks took a winding road to get to where he is now—creating imaginative lawn sculptures inspired by the Southwest landscape he calls home. After graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Chris worked in advertising, then ran a printing business with his wife, while painting during his free time. It was when the couple moved to Tucson that Chris collaborated with a metal art manufacturer and fell in love with the art form. He now designs and creates sculptures in his studio at the foot of the Santa Rita Mountains. "I always wanted to make a living doing something genuinely enjoyable," he says. "To get up in the morning raring to go, and never having enough time to do everything you want to do."

Just the right addition to any outdoor space


Love it; but is it "Outdoor" friendly?

LOVE the design and the function--so well made! And SO original! Just wonder why it says outdoors when it can't take rain.

I hung mine in the living room.


Stunning on my porch!

I love my front porch.I read there and the thermometer and clock keep me from totally forgetting about other things I have to do.

How exactly died the thermometer work? Is there a sensor somewhere I'm not seeing?

Verified reply from Norma

Are you asking how the thermometer works? The thermometer components are mounted onto the back of the Garden Gear and take AA batteries.


Bought the thermometer only where do I put the battery?

Verified reply from Valerie

While the clock needs a battery, the thermometer is not powered so no battery is needed.


Is the thermometer in Fahrenheit or celcius? If in farenheit can it be made for celcius instead please? Thanks Tracy

Verified reply from Colleen

The thermometer measures in Fahrenheit. Unfortunately, at this time we do not have another option available.


Is the 12 o'clock position "off-centered" as shown in the picture or is it positioned as it should be?

Verified reply from Valerie

The item is as pictured, with the 12 o'clock position slightly off center.


I recently bought the thermometer. Where exactly does the batteries go and how does the thermometer work?

Verified reply from Alexis R

The Garden Gears Outdoor Clock & Thermometer takes a AA Battery. The battery should fit behind the center of the clock side of the gear.


Do the gears move, or only the hands? In other words, does the clock actually roll up and down the stick?

Verified reply from Brandon

The gears do not move on these items; only the hands do.


Is this a real working themometer?

Verified reply from Valerie

Yes, both the thermometer and clock are functional.
