Horologium Clock
The Horologium is my version
of one of the earliest types of medieval mechanical clocks - the Verge
and Foliot. This simple yet elegant escapement is nearly silent as her
adjustable foliot swings gently back and forth. Practically the only
sound she makes is the slight ding of her hourly chime. During the build
I had named her the "World's Easiest Clock" because there
are only two wheels to cut in the whole clock! Her crown wheel is drilled
and her hour wheel is a pulley, and the wheels with the teeth are large
and easy to cut out. This is a great clock to display your most figured
wood because her entire mechanism is completely exposed. And, of course,
she fits perfectly into any modern Gothic decor. |
| .This is her hour pulley. It is operated as the drive weight drops. The hand points to each hour as it passes by. |
| This is her large minute wheel. It measures 10.25" in diameter making it extremely easy to cut out. The minutes are read inside the circle. |
.Above the minute wheel is
the crown wheel and foliot. The copper flags catch each pin of the crown
wheel causing the foliot to gently sway back and forth. The arms of
the foliot are adjustable. Spreading them makes the clock run slower.
This elegant design is such a joy to watch. |
