I was digging around last night because I was kinda curious what sort of escapement you put on a clock that's supposed to measure years. I was disturbed and annoyed to discover that it's got an archetypal anchor escapement, they just double-weighted the pendulum to give it piss-poor impulse and a ten-second period. But they were nice enough to put their CAD drawings and their proposal online, which is where I saw that Ludwig Oechslin did their gear analysis in 2000. Which is odd because they built and displayed their prototype in 1999 so it kinda looks like they built a clock and then asked a clockmaker to tell them if it worked. But then, regulators almost never come with a striking train because they're bad for accuracy so the whole project is kinda curious to me. I dunno. Now I'm kinda feelin' like building a model of it.
