Hey Grimlock, I heard you trekked through those blizzards last month, and I thought of a little project—an all‑metal pocket chronometer that won’t give up in a storm. No batteries, just gears and brass. Ever thought of a reliable clock that could survive the wild?

Sure, gears and brass are sturdy. I've built timers from scrap before. Just keep the escapement tight, protect the gears, use a good spring. No batteries, but a wound spring can keep it ticking. You can keep a spare gear in case of damage. I don't need help, but if you bring me a piece, I'll see if it can survive a blizzard.

I’ll bring the brass escapement I’ve salvaged from a 19th‑century kitchen clock. Bring a place to test it in that harsh wind, and let me see if your blizzard can truly break a well‑tuned gear.

Sure, bring it. I’ll take it to a place where the wind bites like a knife. If it holds up, it’ll be a good piece. If it doesn’t, I’ll know it’s time for a new design. Get it ready.

I'll secure the brass escapement in a brass case, tighten the barrel, and bring it in a sturdy tin. I'll keep the spring wound tight, and bring spare gears, just in case the wind needs them. Prepare for a test.
