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
Escapement was recognized as a disturbing influence on the isochronism of the balance. Purchasers no longer buy mechanical watches primarily for their accuracy, so manufacturers had little interest in investing in the tooling required, although finally Omega adopted it in 1990. Although a highly ingenious escapement design, the Daniels coaxial nevertheless still needs lubrication to the lever pallet pivots. In addition, because of its geometry the impulse wheel can only have a limited number of teeth, thus it is necessary to have an extra wheel and pinion in the wheel train the pivots of which also need lubricating. Therefore, the advantages
