Hi all – I thought this mechanical clock was very interesting. You can
experience it in high res 3D here: https://soyuz-clock-viewer.vercel.app/

I can't find any info on accuracy or stability. I'm thinking of the
Hamilton mechanical ship's chronometers from WWII as a reference – what was
their drift rate? I remember it was better than today's mechanical
chronometer wristwatches.

Curious Marc has technical details here:

Cheers,
