Da's nou eens een aardig klokkie voor werkgevers om aan hun medewerkers na 40 jaar trouwe en bewezen dienst kado te doen.
Dat er dan wellicht geen stopwatch op zit zou ik op de koop toenemen.

haha geniaal ik zie het helemaal voor me..

Inderdaad, maar gelukkig zit er wel een wekker op met snooze!

Oh so if not with electricity then how did that work?

markush (62) · 7 years ago

Hey macchiat@

Dont know exactly i just like to take photos :) thanks for asking though

But you have to "charge" it with the wooden handle on the right once a day. I think the stones and a spring must play a role..

If you have a spring pressed in, it wants to extend back again. So that is whats probably create a "force" and the stones most likely functions as a contra-weight. I could be totally wrong. Im not very technical last thing i studied was bookkeeping. 😎

Als je inzoomt kan je zien dat er een wijzer op de 2 staat... Lijkt 10 over half 2..

This is a unique style of clock.

markush (62) · 7 years ago

Indeed something different then a watch :)

It looks very sophisticated. I wonder how it works without electricity.

markush (62) · 7 years ago

I dont know the details.

But do you see the wooden"handle" on the right. Once a day you "charge" it. The stone must be something like a contra-weight. Thats all i can make of it :)

It might be working on a spring just like old clocks, I had seen my granfather charging it long time ago.

markush (62) · 7 years ago

Yes a spring that must be it. Cool, my grandparrents had a similar clock-system. Only smaller or course. Simple but effective.

Peace
