The New Installed Tower Clock at BGC Taguig



We have just installed a 2-meter wide tower clock in one of the new buildings of Megaworld...the Uptown Parksuites 2 in BGC Taguig Metro Manila. The clock movement I used here is my own design called "two-wheel direct drive clock movement" meaning there are only two wheels inside... the center minute wheel that carries the minute hand and the hour wheel that carries the hour hand. Both wheels are being driven by two motors digitally controlled by a microcomputer chip and rate regulated using a quartz oscillator set at +1.44min/year using the state of the art Microset Timing Machine by Bryan Mumford. These kind of clock movement of mine is first in the Philippines and in the world.
