In my never-ending quest to become an old man before I'm 40, I've taken an interest in ridiculous wooden clocks. I suspect they're primarily to justify my interest in owning a laser cutter, but nonetheless, I'm into it. The Riefler escapement is pretty much the pinnacle of design for "regulator" clocks until you start invoking electromagnetism. Of course, none of them hold a candle to a 25 cent vending machine quartz watch, but that's not the point. The point is that gears are fucking cool. I mean, jesus.
