Update: I'm looking forward to this clock winding down. I might replace the movement with a modern, quiet, battery-powered one though if I can do it in a reversible, non-destructive way.
@kyle My grandmother had one just about like that.
@kyle I have often removed a ticking clock from a room I’m in. It’s weird because I don’t think I’m overly sensitive to other sounds.
@PeterWyrm This one ticks 4x a second, and that rapid ticking does seem to be harder to ignore than a standard pendulum-based tick-tock.
@kyle only time will tell!
Behind it is an #antique barometer in a bakelite case.
