Riefler escapement electric motor every 30 seconds, to eliminate the effect of changes in drive force on the mechanism. Working Riefler precision pendulum clocks on display to the public are located in the lobby of Olin Hall at Carleton College in Northfield, MN, the Deutsches Museum in Munich, the National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia PA, the Musée international d'horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds and the Musée d'horlogerie in Le Locle (both in Switzerland), the Deutsches Uhrenmuseum in Furtwangen, and at the US Naval Observatory (by appointment only) in Washington DC. Riefler escapement The Riefler escapement is a mechanical escapement for precision
Coaxial escapement beat movements, he has also noted that they aggravate the problem of sliding friction in the escapement (at the escape teeth and pallets). Higher beat movements produce increased speed and pressure at these critical surfaces." Coaxial escapement The coaxial escapement is a type of modern watch escapement mechanism invented by English watchmaker George Daniels. Invented around 1974 and patented in 1980 by English watchmaker George Daniels, the coaxial escapement is a modification of the lever escapement with some features of the detent escapement. Considered by some to be one of the most significant horological advancements since the invention of the
