Hello
Today I show a wall clock with rotating pendulum (anniversary clock), which was very easy to build.
The basis is a wall clock with a quartz movement, which I have purchased at a flea market, for little money.
Initially I was only interested in the clock housing, matching a little bit the furniture (maple) in our living room.
When I looked at the clock closer, I realized that the replacement of the battery was solved differently, than usual.
So far I had only battery-powered wall clocks, which have an opening at the rear, to replace the battery.
For this fact,however, you have to take this clock off the wall.
At this clock it was much easier to accomplish. The dial, and the complete movement,is attached to a hinge on a support.
So you only need to open the clock and then fold out the dial to the left and you can quick and easy replace the old battery.
The very next moment I had the idea building a wall clock,replacing the quartz movement, with a movement of an anniversary clock.
The best, no need for front winding. I can leave the wind up mechanism on the back.
So, I picked up a Haller movement and did it.
How I did it? See the photos.
From the idea to the functioning clock, it took only a few hours.
