I did this! I got to the point of building a ticking prototype, and I considered it "cheating" to copy any clock designs. I did use an established escapement design, though. Apparently involute gear tooth profiles aren't appropriate for clocks, but I don't know how to draw the "correct" type. I spent months designing it in solidworks, creating the 3D models and plans. I then cut out the gears from baltic birch plywood with a cheap scroll saw, then sanded all the teeth, which took forever. If I do it again, I'll just have the parts laser cut. About a year later, I bought a kit [0] which was very enjoyable to build, and I saw how my bearing design was wrong.
