Disassembled Old-School Clock

Artist Todd McLellan has produced a great range of photos which explore disassembly. The amount of components indicates a high level of complexity, i wonder if before everything was pulled apart there was a heirarchy of sub components, components and elements? If this is what a clock looks like, then imagine a typical 3 bedroom house!
