    I love it, hampton. I love anything to do with beautiful clocks and watches.
    The mechanism is so basic to someone from a 'watery' country like myself, yet seemingly complicated when used in a clock.:)

    I have two of his clocks from my father. One is a weighted clock similar to yours. The other has an inclined plane that is the power mechanism. I have the same problem with the fluid level dropping. Have you figured a way to add or replace fluid, and what did you use?

    Hi, @Larry kahn and welcome to Antiquers. I have tagged hamptonauction, who started this discussion. He is a long-time member here, but hasn't been back since last spring. Maybe my tag will alert him to your post.

    It's a fun gadget. I can see a bunch of engineers geeking out over it. Maybe the fluid thing is one reason it never took off.
