1920s Sessions Clock




This is one of the latest clocks I have serviced. It is running well now, but it needed a complete cleaning/polishing as well as 2 bushings replaced for the pivots of the escape wheel. I also had to fabricate a new, longer pendulum. The existing one was a bit too short, causing the clock to run a bit too fast. The new one is just right and allows plenty of room for future minor adjustments. I'm doing the final adjustments and it should be ready to go back home in a day or two. These are fun clocks to work on. They have two open springs. One for the time and one for the chime.

Kinetic Cell Phone

Yanko Design website is featuring a cool design for a kinetic powered cell phone.

"The Atlas Kinetic Cell Phone concept focuses on greener technologies without sacrificing design. It’s all made of aluminum and glass. The central sapphire glass reveals the generating and charging unit. Power comes from kinetic energy similar to that found in watches that use oscillating weight to power a mainspring.
The phone only contains basic features. None of that fancy multi-media stuff. If power runs out because it was sitting still for too long, just give it a few upside down turns to get the kinetic rotors going again. Now you’ll never have to worry about batteries."
