They're called Geneva stops those "gears"

Seth Thomas has made so many Great Clocks over the years! Especially his famous clocks, the one you put on the wall!

Geneva stops, fancy movement!

Overwinding a clock isn't actually possible from my knowledge. If you do happen to "overwind" it (breaking the hook the mainspring is attached to) you would have to put a LOT of force on the key, and in fact you would probably break the key before the spring broke.

@DannysClocks 2 жыл бұрын

In watches or clocks that have a balance wheel, a Geneva stop is definitely necessary to prevent overwinding because it can be a problem in that circumstance. If a balance wheel has too much force exerted on it, it will spin way too fast and wear it out faster as so much extra pressure is being exerted, and it can be easy to overwind such tiny mainsprings on manual wind watches. So it makes sense for my Vostok submarine clock to have a Geneva stop... But not so much this clock. You're right, on a clock with this style of escapement, I don't think it really makes a difference... Maybe peace of mind? :p

@@DannysClocks Funny thing is some watches actually have a system where the whole mainspring starts spinning when it's fully wound, and yeah I can see where balance wheel timepieces need a system like that.

I meant hour hand

i belief that's a 89 mechanism like the mantle clocks and i wanted see the works of it too

@arancunningham7256 3 жыл бұрын

Correct

@DannysClocks 3 жыл бұрын

Yep! this is an 89B movement, as it is marked on the plate.

Why did you not use the minute hand as well

I was using the minute hand, just not the hour hand :)

It's not fragile at all, it was perfectly fine. I know what I can and can't throw, don't worry.

What is that miniature wall clock next to it

@DannysClocks Жыл бұрын

That is an "Arrow" German novelty clock that belonged to my Great Grandfather. My mother receieved it from him before he passed away, and then she passed it down to me. It's in a short-drop style exactly like the bigger one I'm showing, just scaled down.
