Hello, kengwn!

I don't think there is a specfic answer to your question. That is, clocks that use gears have various designs. The number of gears depends on the design of the clock. Modern clocks generally don't use gears as a part of their time-keeping mechanism.

I think the area of time keeping has great potential for science experiments. What is your project? How can we assist you?
