Mechanical Pendulum Clock Mechanism - No quartz!

    I need a mechanical pendulum clock mechanism, but one which is not aided by quartz.

    I tried Argos, and all they have are "imitation" pendulum clocks, which are run on AA batteries. I need real mechanism that can run by itself.

    Is there any place in Dublin where I would get a mechanism like that?

    Try an antiques shop.

    Metronome from a music shop? Not sure if these are purely mechanical or not.

    Thanks for all the suggestions, antiques shop seems to be too expensive, and metronome is more likely alternative.
