    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_clock

    A pendulum clock is a clock that uses a pendulum, a swinging weight, as its timekeeping element. The advantage of a pendulum for timekeeping is that it is an approximate harmonic oscillator: It swings back and forth in a precise time interval dependent on its length, and resists swinging at other rates.

  9. Verge escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verge_escapement
