Quartz clock pendulum movement teardown with schematic.

I wasn't expecting the circuitry in this unit to be so clever. It's using standard discrete components, but in a very clever way that allows the coil to push and pull while also sensing and synchronising with the pendulum movement.

It's worth buying these movements just for the pendulum kicker module.
