A. E. Wiggins Hipp Clock.
The Hipp system is extremely simple with only a pendulum, motion works driving the hands and a "toggle".
I got A. E. Wiggins Hipp clock at auction. I thought that it is interesting enough to write an article on it.

The Hipp clock is interesting because of its behaviour. I set it one day and it, in 4 days, has been 6 seconds fast, that is about 1.5 seconds per day and 0.06 seconds per hour. It should be fast so as it declines in Summer when the temperature is higher and the pendulum rod is longer. I will update that figure once about every month.
