An 8-day clock based on Coster s famous clock of 1675 in the Rijksmuseum at Leiden, Holland. Features a robust verge escapement with cycloidal cheek suspension. A remarkably good timekeeper. The drawings include details of the simple box-like case of the original clock. Weight driven, with an endless chain.
Drawings cover movement and dial only.
Easily adapted for a larger or smaller dial. Based on a clock dated 1658, by Ahasuerus Fromanteel. An 8-day going barrel movement with verge escapement, cycloidal cheeks and a false pendulum showing in an aperture in the dial. Austere but elegant, this clock would look good on any mantlepiece. Back striking, recoil escapement and maintaining power to the going fusee.
