anchor escapement around 1670. This escapement variation reduced the pendulum's swing to a mere 4 to 6. The anchor escapement allowed for more accuracy, the clock's case to accommodate longer, slower pendulums, thus needing less power and decreasing wear on the movement. This also decreased vibrations, due to the shorter swing. The increased accuracy resulting from these developments created the development of the minute hand, previously very rare, to be added to clock faces beginning around 1690. There will be more clarifications and complications to come. Keep Reading; keep learning!
