The arc of a pendulum is one of a clock’s most captivating features. However, due to the nature of how a pendulum operates, its speed will gradually shift over time, causing the clock to drift. To maintain accurate timekeeping, the pendulum must be regulated—either sped up or slowed down. Traditionally, this task was handled manually by a parishioner or a member of the local community.
Automatic regulators remove the need for constant timekeeping adjustments by monitoring the pendulum’s rate and correcting it to maintain the desired beat. They also handle summer and winter time changes automatically.
We fit autoregulators to a wide variety of pendulum clocks, from smaller church clocks to large public installations. The fitting process usually takes a day, and our engineers handle everything with care and precision. Once in place, the system keeps your clock accurate day after day, automatically adjusting for natural drift and seasonal time changes — no manual regulation required.
