Do you have any other pictures/videos of the W14 from different angles. I can't quite make out how it works. Like exactly how the pendulum is resting on the assembly and how the assembly is rotating. Great work!

ooks like you've removed w12b. keeping that one under wraps? i can't blame you, it's a good design. i'll stick with the 8 blade prop gear, but i might try to integrate your lateral anchor? into my design. so far, in designing clocks, i haven't borrowed from anyone else; all solutions have been of my own ingenuity (these include a ratcheting chain gear, hands that don't slip when they pass their zenith, and placing all gearing behind the face - all lego clocks i've seen so far place the last hand movement gearing in front of the face). your lateral anchor design would be the first.

Your clocks have extremely good mechanisms. Just out of curiosity, are they moved by string or a motor? Thank you for making such good videos and of course, such good mechanisms. I will try to build some of yours.
