Perrier,

Mechanical, yes. Home brew, no. It is an absolutely stunning clock, both in 
beauty and performance.

The designer, Martin Burgess, is a giant among clockmakers and this project 
reflects a life's work.

There's more information about the clock, additional press links, and a copy of 
my talk about "Clock B" at the Harrison conference:

If any of you have specific questions about the clock let me know off-list. I'm 
still in Greenwich.
