• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

Can a pendulum like this length be changed if necessary to go in another clock

Questions are whether the other clock has enough power to drive a heavier pendulum, and whether the mech is strong enough to support the weight. Also, a heavy pendulum might cause more case sway.

Does your clock have a quartz movement and fake weights? If so, a heavy pendulum will probably be too heavy for the magnet to swing it.

A lot depends on the other pendulum style. If it's a stick pendulum, the Lyre could cause it to run a lot faster.
