not a bad idea, I have a gents master that just wont impulse
consistantly, goes alright for a while then just gains like mad, since
the slave dial is kicked every 30 seconds it only takes a few double up
impulses to put it out of whack, I could stick one of these behind the
dial and have the pendulum just for show

this one is a bit cheaper but looks a bit messy with the extra batteries
