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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Burgess There's more information about the clock, additional press links, and a copy of my talk about "Clock B" at the Harrison conference: http://leapsecond.com/pend/clockb/ If any of you have specific questions about the clock let me know off-list. I'm still in Greenwich. /tvb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Perry Sandeen via time-nuts" <time-nuts@febo.com> To: <time-nuts@febo.com> Sent: Sunday, April 19, 2015 10:55 PM Subject: [time-nuts] New +/- 1 sec in 100 days mech clock List, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3045499/Longitude-clock-stuns-experts-keeping-accurate-second-100-days-300-years-designed.html Personally I’m blown away howsomeone can homer brew a mechanical clock like this.
