Typical plumbers. Worried about things in synchronism rather than out.
With weight driven, pendulumularly governed clockworkery there is a potential synchronistic problem, the 'Thursday syndrome' or 'Thursday kerfuffle'. It can be avoided by simply cutting Thursdays out of the calendar. It would not trouble a maritime ME (Motive Escapement) as Mr. Harrison eliminated both weights and pendulums from seagoing clockworkery (why they didn't follow this ashore and avoid buggering up the calendar I don't know).
