Description
I was curious about how mechanical clocks worked, so I started looking into it. First, I built the escapement, then the weight gears, and then the rest of the gears, each with a 1 to 60 ratio to tell seconds, minutes, and hours.
You'll need 3 bearings that are 10mm outer diameter and 3.5 mm inner, m2 screws and nuts(hex), and a single rod you can cut off about 3mm in diameter, I used some old 3d pen filament (3d printer filament is too small and won't work).
Here is a video of it working:
