Hi,

You might like to checkout the following website Home page Wooden Gear Clocks(UK). Paul makes an interesting series of clocks.

Mecanique is a lovely mantlepiece clock with compound pendulum and grasshopper mechanism. I purchased it in kit form and am nearing completion (see photos of parts and clock ticking [minus a grasshopper mechanism weight cap]). She keeps good time and is driven by the weight of a motor which climbs the drive wheel when activated by a mercury switch.

The instructions are clear and comprehensive and it won't be long before I purchase her sister the Penguine to construct in the New Year.
