ChronoGuild

Identify and diagnose escapement mechanism faults in antique astronomical clocks

Video & AnimationPaid

ChronoGuild analyzes high-speed video recordings of clock escapement action to detect recoil, set, and loss defects in verge, anchor, and deadbeat escapement geometries. The system compares measured impulse face angles and pallet depth ratios against theoretical optima derived from 17th and 18th century horological treatises by Huygens, Sully, and Berthoud. Watchmakers receive annotated video overlays and correction depth specifications for pallet stone repositioning.
