The intention was never to simply attach a clock to a gun. L'Épée ingeniously redesigned the iconic Winchester's loading and cocking mechanism to wind the timekeeping caliber. They also reimagined the barrel system for time indication and setting. In the original rifle, the magazine held up to 15 rounds without reloading. It is only fitting that the reimagined Winchester clock requires 15 lever actions to fully wind the mechanism, providing a power reserve of approximately 7 days.
