Regulator Clocks - The Regulator clock was developed due to the need for an extremely accurate standard timekeeper by which other clocks could be set. Regulators were used in Observatories, large country houses, clock workshops and retailers premises. Refinements to the movements included maintaining power, a spring device which keeps the clock going whilst winding, jewelled movements, deadbeat escapement and sophisticated compensated pendulums.
