Course it's connected to at least the driving weight, otherwise the pendulum would stop moving, check the chains connecting the escapement; they're moving. It's great to see someone else using up spare parts, and getting it to work
@jeremyhillaryboobphd indeed u r right for some reason last time i only looked at the outer gear, probably because i was alot more blazed then i am now
@Flipybitz All this work does not necessarily mean it has to funktion , first off it just might be a prototype, a illustration to not-ready-to-go concept which now happens to really do work and looks brilliant. And had it been the opposite, it would not change anything, why because it shows that there is no limit to what you can accomplish and that was what amazed me.
Mechanical clocks rarely run at sixty "ticks" per minute. My wristwatch runs at something like 250 or 300, my alarm clock at 200, my old grandfather-clock at twenty. (I don't believe there's a quartz or electric movement in the house anywhere.) They are all, of course, geared accordingly.
This clock runs at eighty ticks per minute. (I'd have gone for something slower, with a heavier weight, but then the whole escapement/regulator would have to be re-geared.
Is the escapement bit that hooks into the teeth directly connected to the pendulum ? It looks like it spans 4 teeth ?

I wonder if you could somehow downsize all the parts really tiny and make a clock you could wear, say on your wrist?

@PirateOfLoserville dont think is does ay the pendulum chain wasnt connected to anything fuck these guys - but yeah it does look nice.

looks pretty connected to me, what the chains closely on the zoom, they are moving.

When you have completed the bicycle build out of clock parts I'll will be impressed.

Bonito sonido, pero me parece una parafernalia de reloj. Te invito a ver el de mi abuelo "bicycle clock - reloj artesano".
Un saludo y felicidades por estas auténticas bicis del tiempo.
