![]() Though the site does not give any technical details on the different escapements, they do show a little of the various visual elements each escapement offers. You can Google each escapement to get more details of each, but it is interesting to see Beeler's reproduction of the various escapements of the time. My personal favourite, from a visual and dynamic standpoint, would have to be the Gravity Escapement. If you're ever in the area, go see them yourself.
