Pendulum clocks: modern classic and classic modern
The pendulum clock is the classic of reliable clocks, and has been since the 17th century. A pendulum clock is the name given to all clocks that work with a free-swinging pendulum. These include table, wall and grandfather clocks. Thanks to constant further developments, today's pendulum clocks are also very accurate. Modern precision pendulum clocks have a deviation of only 0.004 seconds per day. They are also available in numerous variants of well-known brands such as AMS,Kieninger and ZEIT.punkt. Whether modern or classic, whether made of wood, metal, glass or ceramic, there is something for everyone here. In addition to the classic pendulum, there are also rotary pendulums, which rotate around their own axis. They are particularly popular with table clocks.
The term pendulum clock comes from the French pendule, which means pendulum or pendulum clock. In French, pendulum is also a synonym for watch in general.
Technically, a pendulum clock is a mechanical wheel clock that has a pendulum as a regulator. Because of this mechanism, a pendulum clock must be stationary. There are table, wall and large floor grandfather clocks with pendulums.
How the pendulum clock works and a brief history
A pendulum consists of a suspension, rod, lens and regulating device. In 1583, Galileo Galilei was the first to discover that a free-swinging pendulum always takes the same time to oscillate, regardless of the oscillation distance. This property of the pendulum of the simultaneous oscillation duration is also called the pendulum law. It is precisely because of this feature that the pendulum is the ideal regulator of a stationary watch. In 1656, the Dutchman Christiaan Huygens discovered the same law, independent of Galileo's findings. It was also Huygens who made the pendulum law useful for watchmaking. Thus, he revolutionized watchmaking. With their high accuracy, the pendulum clocks were far superior to other clocks at the time. An advantage that even today contributes to a very high accuracy of less than 0.004 seconds per day for precision pendulum clocks.
