8 Day Clock with Grasshopper Escapement
Recently awarded “Most Technically Accomplished” at the 2019 Northern Woods Exhibition.
This original design features a "grasshopper escapement" which imparts a wonderful sense of movement to the clock as it silently counts off the hours. A hand rubbed shellac finish softly reflects the light making this an heirloom quality piece.

A Simple Clock
This simple three wheeled clock will keep excellent time and run for 3 days before it needs to be wound. The design philosophy for this clock is to make it as simple and robust as possible, so it is easily kept running, while maintaining accuracy as a timekeeper. This is an excellent entry level clock which can be enjoyed and passed on to future generations.

A Remontoire Clock
This clock features a remontoire, (from the French remonter, meaning "to wind"), a small secondary source of power that is periodically rewound by the main power source. It was typically used in precision clocks to place the source of power closer to the escapement. By isolating variations in the drive force caused by unevenness of the friction in the gear train, the remontoire improves the clock’s accuracy. This remontoire is triggered every 15 seconds which allows the drive weight to lift it back up into position.
