There’s a new heartbeat in the shop!
The new mechanical clock had its first pulse yesterday, and was ticking away through the night. This is always one of my favorite parts of creating a mechanical clock.
I also really love this type of escapement. If you’ve been following, you know that my most recent mechanical commissions featured the six legged Arnfield gravity escapements. While I really love those too, there’s something about the familiar, reliable, predictable performance of a well-made dead beat escapement.
