I'm a fan of clocks, and this one is a fine example of mechanical talent. It looks like you have a proper deadbeat escapement, so it ought to run reliably until it winds down. If you make another, a gear on a swing-away bar might ease winding if a full-blown ratchet proves difficult. How's the run time? Any inaccuracies are probably just due to thermal expansion of the pendulum. Not much you can do about that without resorting to invar or a gridiron pendulum. Bravo!
