Pendulum clocks aren’t used quite as often these days as their cumbersome mechanics and timekeeping abilities have long been outshone by electronic alternatives. However, they’re still … ...

Clocks in Galileo’s era told time only to the nearest quarter hour and allowed only crude rate regulation. The pendulum-regulated clock, first conceived by Galileo and then realized by Christian ...

In 1656, Christiaan Huygens invented the very first working pendulum clock, which was both primitive and revolutionary in a number of ways.

That big grandfather clock in the library might be an impressive piece of mechanical ingenuity, and an even better example of fine cabinetry, but we’d expect that the accuracy of a pendulum t… ...

"Every clock needs two components: first, a time base generator, such as a pendulum in a pendulum clock, or even a quantum oscillation.

Q: My husband and I purchased a beautiful Howard Miller pendulum wall clock in 1994. It worked well until a few months ago, when it began adding two chimes, one at five minutes before the hour and ...

In the 17th century, Christiaan Huygens, inventor of the pendulum clock, noticed a curious phenomenon. When two identical pendulum clocks are mounted next to each other on a wall, their swings ...

Christiaan Huygens knew clocks. The Dutch scientist, mathematician and inventor-of-all-trades is credited with inventing the pendulum clock and developing one of the first balance spring watches.

Can Sound Explain a 350-Year-Old Clock Mystery? Lab experiments suggest that a strange synchronization of pendulum clocks observed in the 1600s can be chalked up to acoustic energy ...

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 ...

Contentedly ticking away in a specially built shed in Nannup, Western Australia is possibly the largest working wooden tower clocks in the world. Built predominantly of jarrah by local Kevin Bird ...
