Can Gravity Influence the Mechanics of an Analog Clock Design?

[AndroidX7]

So I have no form of engineering education, but I had a hypothesis on an analog mechanical clock being able to account for the effect of gravity on time with a form of super-sensitive weight and scale system to control speed.
Has this been done?
Either way, any thoughts on the matter?

What do you mean by "account for the effect of gravity on time"?

Variations of g alter the period of pendulums in mechanical clocks .

The only situation that I have heard of where the effect was significant was in respect of clocks taken up mountains on scientific expeditions .

Well its my understanding that gravity distorts spacetime and will in turn change the "flow" of time.

If that's the case it would alter all "clocks" so you have nothing to compare your clock with.

You could use a general predictive model to use without directly having to observe a clock somewhere moving at a different speed couldn't you?

Sorry, we don't discuss personal theories or speculation. It's fine to ask questions about mainstream science, but trying to work on your idea here is not allowed.
