Electro Magnetic Clocks


These clocks are driven by electricity.
But only to keep them going
All of the rest is mechics
Nice, well designed mechanics.
Then hidden in ugly boxes.

Electrically spring wound mechanism

In their new cage, they look astonishing
Steel, glass, air

The box is made out of glass plates, held together with a steel frame.

Escaping

Winding

Telling time


Electro magnetical driven pendulum

Even more spectacular, this clock with its pendulum.
The brass cylinder on the right houses an electro magnet.
Each time the steel banana shaped part moves into this cylinder, there is a small electrical impuls which creates a tiny magnetic field, pulling the steel bar in.

Beatiful mechanics
