Generic Pendulum Leader – 4-1/2″ (114mm) Long – For German, English, and American Clocks – 2-1/2″ (64mm) to Crutch Hole Center
This generic pendulum leader is a versatile replacement part designed for use with a wide range of German, English, and American mechanical clocks. Measuring 4-1/2″ (114mm) in total length, it has a 2-1/2″ (64mm) distance from the top to the center of the crutch hole, making it a suitable fit for many mantel, wall, and shelf clock movements.
The pendulum leader plays a crucial role in transferring the motion from the suspension spring to the pendulum itself, allowing the clock to keep accurate time. It’s a critical link in the clock’s timekeeping system, and a properly sized and installed leader ensures consistent pendulum swing and beat.
Ideal for clockmakers and restorers working on vintage or reproduction movements where an original leader may be missing or worn out.
