Cranbrook man donates clock to U of W
By Barb Hallett
UW Gazette
NEWS
FROM CRANBROOK
Students attending classes in the
Davis Centre at the University of
Waterloo will have no excuse for
being late with the installation of an
enormous, handcrafted clock in the
Great Hall. Clockmaker Brendan
Reilly of Cranbrook who graduated
from UW in 1975 with an Honours
Bachelor of Science degree in
physics, officially presented the one-
of-a-kind timepiece to the university
in a ceremony Sept. 14. His dad,
Park Reilly, is a retired UW engi
neering professor.
In addition to wanting to give
something back to the university, the
clockmaker is also interested in
extending his craft. He’s been mak
ing smallclocks - some 144 of them
over the past 21 years - and is inter
ested in working on a a larger scale.
“I thought I’d like to make a big
clock for a public space,” he said.
Designed specifically for its envi
ronment, the clock is mounted on a
concrete column with the centre of
the dial, which is 1.8 (six feet) in
diameter, about 7.6 metres (25 feet)
above the floor. The bottom of the
4.2-metre (14-foot) pendulum reach
es just above the floor of the second
storey.
“The design is open, with no case,
but rather a frame which exposes the
works of the clock,” explains Reilly.
The works are crafted from lami
nated birch, with a frame of red oak
and a dial of black walnut inlaid with
boxwood markers. The hands are
formed of African blackwood. Local
potter Patricia O’Connell created the
cobalt blue ceramic pendulum bob.
Weight-driven and pendulum-reg
ulated, the clock is wound every 14
hours by an electric motor, although
the clock itself is not electric. The
pendulum is kept in motion by the
falling weight through the gear
wheels and “a unique modified
grasshopper escapement,” named for
its interesting movement.
The intent was to combine techni
cal and esthetic considerations to
create a work of drama and elegant
simplicity.
Unlike other clcoks, the escape
ment does not tick, says Reilly, “so
the clock will be almost totally
silent.”

WMS report.

ple.
Mrs. Stevenson offered prayer.
Mrs. Leslie Knight had prepared

dedication to your church. Rule two
was interest in civic life and rule

reading and prayer.
Luncheon was served by Mrs. Jack
Knight, Mrs. Murray Crawford and
Mrs. Schneider.
