oooh good catch. Actually this value was from a prior going train I had designed. The newest going train will actually need to be 0.0625 cycles per second because I am using a 16 tooth escapement...

Makes sense to me, I am currently looking into options, but while I am still figuring out other aspects of the watch, this will have to wait.

Hey everyone, I deviated a bit from the original layout of the "gnomon 1". This updated case design was mainly motivated by the same ergonomic constraints as before, but with more emphasis on...

Well for now I would like to keep things simple. I wanted a temperature compensated quartz frequency generator circuit that can give me a 0.5 Hz signal. For the original goign train shown in the...

I realized that I neglected to add a link to the fist update thread:
https://www.intlwatchleague.com/showthread.php?51462-Gnomon-Watch-Update-1&highlight=gnomon

Haha, then I could call it a gnomonic device! We'd have puns for days!

Hmm I'm glad you bring this up because I was not aware. I did some basic googling when I started this project but clearly I wasn't very thorough. Well if anyone has any suggestions for new names I'm...

Hey folks, after taking a break to work on other unrelated projects I am ready to come back and continue work on the Gnomon Watch V2. This will just be a place holder update and a sort of game plan...

45 mm X 50 mm X 13 mm
The footprint is a bit larger than it needs to be and much larger than I want. I know that I made the going train beefier than necessary and part of my second model will be...

I am pretty happy with it as a first try, however I feel it lacks elegance and refinement. I know I can do much better and I intend to eventually redesign for a Gnomon V. 2. I also forgot to add...

Here's pretty much the finalized watch:

the blue section represents the control electronics and the black line is the quartz o-ring
Fusion 360's textures aren't very good but I tried to...

Here is the updated model. I have since added the Bridges, Transfer Linkages, Time Display Wheels, and many other auxiliary components. If anyone is interested in images of specific mechanisms or...

yeah there's quite a bit going on so some of the details get hidden. Lubrication will be done in the standard way, jewel bearings with oil cups, and in the model shown I hadn't rendered jewel pallets...

Exactly, I won't claim to be capable of "marrying form and function perfectly" but I love the process of trying to play with some alternative methods to get closer to that idea. I have no clue how...

Alright, I finished most of the going train in Fusion, my computer is acting like it will catch fire any minute so this might get tricky as I build the bridges and case ect. ]

Here is the gearing described in the original post that wouldn't display before.

It looks like the images ar having some trouble so let me know if you cannot view them.

Hello everyone, I asked some dimensions questions a few weeks ago here and received some very helpful responses. I would now like to share some of my work and see what people's thoughts are. Once...

This is great thank you very much! I'll post the drawings I end up with once I am done :)

Thank you everyone for your generous and kind responses, I have never been welcomed so well into a forum before! I have purchased George Daniel's book and I am waiting for the delivery now, as far...

Hello all, I am a mechanical engineering student, I was hoping I could ask some questions here about your art for a project I am pursuing. I would like to start off by saying that I mean no...

This actually does get you some helpful results, I suppose this, and the other resources mentioned will have to get me close enough and I could fill in the gaps myself. Thank you for the suggestion!
