Comtoise watches, as seen here in the Comtoise Museum of master watchmaker Bernd Deckert, are a French pendulum clock from the French region of Franch-Comte. While they are beautiful antiques, they ...

Physicists at the Ural Federal University (UrFU) have created a theory for the solidification of iron-nickel (Fe-Ni) alloy (invar). They determined that an important role in the technology of creating ...

These locales, from museums to brands' own premises, are hallowed ground for watch fans, giving them insights and a peek into ...

Here’s how to build a pendulum-controlled clock which can be made really accurate. Retro? – yes, but an interesting project all the same. You’ll need a spare quartz clock which must be adapted by ...

The 350-year-old mystery of why pendulum clocks hanging from the same wall can influence each other and synchronize over time may hold even more secrets than previously thought, researchers say.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. To unpack these a bit, Karl Popper was the philosopher of science who I ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Aaron D. Crane (1804-1860) of ...

A new project has been published to the Hackster.io website this week from Jeremy Cook, who has created a unique single nixie pendulum POV clock powered by an Arduino Nano microcontroller together ...

Talk about your mixed timekeeping metaphors: there are clocks, and pendulum clocks, and there are Nixie clocks, and persistence of vision clocks. But this is a Nixie pendulum POV clock, and we think ...

The familiar tick-tock of wall clocks originates from the escapement mechanism, which controls gear movement in precise steps. While our brains perceive two distinct sounds, clocks actually produce ...
