Pendulum clocks aren’t used quite as often these days as their cumbersome mechanics and timekeeping abilities have long been outshone by electronic alternatives. However, they’re still fun and they do ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Comtoise watches, as seen here in the Comtoise Museum of master ...

That big grandfather clock in the library might be an impressive piece of mechanical ingenuity, and an even better example of fine cabinetry, but we’d expect that the accuracy of a pendulum timepiece ...

Here’s how to build a pendulum-controlled clock which can be made really accurate. Retro? – yes, but an interesting project all the same. You’ll need a spare quartz clock which must be adapted by ...

A new project has been published to the Hackster.io website this week from Jeremy Cook, who has created a unique single nixie pendulum POV clock powered by an Arduino Nano microcontroller together ...

If a ticking clock is the heartbeat of a home, a little arrhythmia is not uncommon. Old clocks can be fussy, especially when moved from their longstanding positions or relocated to a different type of ...
