I once GPS disciplined a friends grandfather clock from the mid 1700's. Used an opto interrupter and solenoid to nudge the pendulum. If I remember right I had to generate 24 pulses per minute. It worked surprisingly well. The next mod was to make it self winding, but she moved away before that happened.
