Did you know?

The torsion pendulum clock, otherwise known as anniversary clock is a fascinating technology of days past. Instead of a pendulum that rocks from side to side it has a weight that rotates clockwise and counter clockwise providing movement to the cog wheels to display the time.

The one at my store replicates such movement with some clever scripting, I made this clock way before I knew about keyframing movement so the effect of accelerating and de-accelerating rotation is made with target omegas and timing alone. Still it does a convincing job, oh and of course it displays the time =)

Happy Sunday!
