Absolutely gorgeous! If I may make one recommendation, I'd suggest adding a little bit more mass to the driving weight. As it is, the pendulum is lifting the impulse pallet while that pallet is still being lifted by the escape wheel (if you slow the video down, you can see the pendulum contact the pallet before it's fully lifted). This means the train is still "assisting" in lifting the pallet on the upswing, which subjects the pendulum to variations in driving force arising from within the train. A little more mass need to be added to the inertial governor (the magnetic clutch is genius!), but the result would be well worth it!

Very nice, a true enthusiast, you can tell by the clamp on the kitchen table. Just like me.... Well done for your first clock and having a go at making one. Must look up gravity escarpment and why its better. Thanks Noel

Congratulations on the build. However, as you are probably aware, the drive weight is too small, which is therefore supplying too little torque to the escape wheel, preventing it from being able to lift the impulse gravity arm on its own. It needs the help of the pendulum. This is not the correct operation of this escapement. Your prototype video showing the escapement only shows the correct operation.

You are right. I have increased the weight and added a small counterweight to the arm. The cost of this is greatly increased noise. It's in need of a fly on the escape wheel and bearings on the drive wheel. Have made other mods along the way. The above will probably be a project for this winter coming. Thanks for your comments.

… So amazing, how accurate?…. How often will it need readjustment?

It drifts slightly due to the changing weight of the chain adding to the main weight. Could be cured by adding lots of weight and a "fly" (kind of air break) to dampen the movement and reducing the noise of the escarpment clank. There are a few improvement to do but have drifted into other projects.

Amazing, would you be able to make a 20 hour day with 72 minutes per hour? I will definitely pay you for it

So its perpetual motion until the gears wear out?

Gravity escapements get energy from the potential gravitational energy of the weight. It will go either until the weight it’s the ground or the string runs out

I made the clock from original drawings by James Artfield. I used an old program called Micrografix Designer to do the CAD work for the patterns to cut it out. (Coraldraw predecessor) the clock has changed since these vids. It took two years to get right. Not easy but my first go at such a project. I can convert the pages to dxf perhaps but not sure how the scaling will be or could send you the raw files. Nice to know someone else has an interest. Kind regards, Simon

Can you share more details on your magnetic clutch for the minute hand, have been fooling with the same idea but have not made one yet.
