Clock no. 43

A  simple wooden table top weight driven clock with a grasshopper escapement and an electric rewind

.Originally intended to have a Wagner remontoire it slowly morphed into a simple rewinder. The reason being that I was too lazy to add a fly to the system and the shock of the rapid rewind was detrimental to the integrity of the mechanism.

Still, I think it has turned out pretty well and it has made an attractive timepiece. I just love the action of a grasshopper escapement.
