Try to listen to the various ticks and clicks. Sorry about the buzz halfway through!

This clock drives the house system of 8 "slaves". There is a turret clock in the same room, hence the slow beat in the distance!

Note the arc and the sound of the clicks. Sorry about being on its side!

    Thank you for sharing the video. I have recently purchased an 1874 Gillett and Bland two train turret clock with the same 15legged escapement. Sadly the pendulum rod is missing. I’m not sure if you still have access to the clock in the video but I am trying to determine the dimensions of the rod specifically where the arms of the escapement meet the rod. I have the dimensions of the hole in the pendulum bob which take the rod but nothing else. If you were able to provide dimensions I would be very grateful. Many thanks

      Thanks for the interest. Yes, I do have access to the clock and can provide all the details you need. Please e-mail me at irichar361@aol.com for more details.

    Hi Ian, It would be really nice to see the whole clock. I have never seen a 3/4 second Synchronome in the flesh.

      I'll see if I can do another video to show the whole clock. Thanks for tour interest.

    How Difficult was it to get a good connection (circuit) through the pendulum?

      Mark, there is a slight rubbing action between the gravity arms and the pendulum rod so the contact is kept clean. Also, there is a fine silver wire (not visible) which runs on the axles of the gravity arms, thus ensuring good conductivity at all times (almost!!).

    Cool...
