Escapement

A pendulum, an escape wheel and an anchor that ticks it. The simulation is honest: the longer the pendulum, the slower the beat, and the pendulum gets an impulse every time it passes the pallets. Trim the regulator until the day error is small, then certify — without letting the mainspring run flat.

The clock is on the bench, unwound. Wind it to hear it start.

Bench 1 / 3

Cottage clock · 1.000 s beat · certify within ±120 s/day

Higher = faster clock. Pendulum length follows, so the swing grows slightly wider.

An uneven anchor kicks one side harder. The strip chart will show a crooked beat.
