As a rule, Donald Saff doesn’t collect clocks he can’t see inside of. It’s the harmonic entanglement of gears—and the skill needed to craft them—that first lured him to horology, the study of ...

In a grandfather clock, a pendulum swings back and forth and this periodic motion is maintained using the energy stored in its suspended weights. This is done with the help of the escapement mechanism ...

Here’s how to build a pendulum-controlled clock which can be made really accurate. Retro? – yes, but an interesting project all the same. You’ll need a spare quartz clock which must be adapted by ...
