When the bells ring before the big bell, I think I hear squeaking when the bell hits the hammer or something I don’t know how to explain it

[@thisisdvd8094]

the fact that the screw's off center at around 2:59 is kind of annoying me, the clock runs fine so I guess it's not an issue.

Thanks i hate it :D

Hi

[@trainlover123trainsrock]

I find it crazy how the camera people at Getty Images are having him take off and put on the Pennies several times and inserting the wind up crank over and over just to get a good shot. The Pennies thing should’ve been done just once, as to not ruin the clocks accuracy

[@alexjohnward]

@@trainlover123trainsrock It isn't that accurate that it would matter for a few minutes lol

[@lishengliu5866]

Hi

[@GreatJO]

how does the clock keep ticking during the winding process?

[@ethanbaker218]

There is a backup weight I think

[@tyronlemons5203]

idk maybe there's still gravity in the mechinisim

[@Ljo1]

It has a ‘maintaining power’ weight which is connected to the going train and keeps it going while it’s being wound.

[@johnr6168]

As an aside to what others have said, some later Dent clocks had a very clever arrangement that used 4 circumferential springs on the same axle as the winding drum. This involved having a reverse ratchet next to the 'normal' ratchet. As soon as torgue was applied to the winding handle the springs would drive the clock.
