Arching Gravity Concept

Arching Gravity features a substantial 576-tooth wheel executed in Harrison’s chordal pitch arrangement. It is suspended gracefully within an arcing steel frame, with an exposed double three-legged gravity escapement driving a seconds pendulum.

Time is read by means of movable rings passing a fixed register. Behind them, the activity of the escapement, the speed-dampening fan, and the alternating lift of the gravity arms animate the slow revolutions of the large wheel.

By necessity, the work would be available only as an automatically wound piece, with winding taking place every few hours.

​

The finish would be satin black steel, complemented by gold-lacquered or gold-plated components.
