I found this clock at a flea market. It was made by E. Ingraham Co. Bristol, Conn.
I'm guessing it is from the 30's. I like the unusual numerals.
The Athena, a wooden clock I built from a kit.
Here the clockwork is partially assembled.
The Athena is a verge and foliot clock, a kind of clock that was very common before the invention of the pendulum clock. I built this to learn more about how the verge & foliot mechanism works.
It is easier to see why the pendulum was preferred when you see (and hear) one of these clocks in action. There is a visible (and audible) random fluctuation in the rate of the "tick tocks" produced by this kind of clock. Clocks of this type typically did not have minute hands.

Restoring this clock for a Porthmadog man to find a signature made by the last known repairer, it reads:
Repaired by
Ellis Lewis Guard Festiniog Railway,
38 Chapel Street Portmadoc
October 1947.
Interestingly the railway closed down in 1946, but I think that this gentleman was proud of the fact that he had worked on the Festiniog Railway!
Love it when i find this type of thing on a clock.

The Kremlin Clock or Kremlin chimes is a historic clock on the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin.
The Kremlin clock faces have a diameter of 6.12 metres (20.1 ft) and are placed on all four sides of the Spasskaya tower. The Roman numerals are 0.72 m (2.4 ft) tall. The length of the hour hand is 2.97 m (9.7 ft), and of the minute hand 3.27 m (10.7 ft). The total weight of clock and bells is 25 tons. The mechanism is powered by 3 weights, weighing between 160 and 224 kilograms (353 and 494 lb). Accuracy is achieved by a pendulum weighing 32 kg (71 lb).
The clock sends time signals to the centralized fault data interface unit, the flight data interface unit and the flight management and guidance computer.
"On the eve of all the festivities, the doors to the roof are opened... From atop the clock tower roof, a ceremony to call the gods is held and an ancient song is sung." — Granny
