There are more ways than one to skin a cat (reminds me of the of the 
colleague from the US telling me about a course he'd taken in cat-skinning. 
More ways than one, I knew, but taking courses???? It had me puzzled until I 
realized it was in CAT scanning...)

One well tried solution would be a pendulum clock, a well-tested and 
potentially extremely accurate device - instead of the weight, you have the 
corner of the platform pulling and supplying the power needed. You might 
even use a commercial clockwork, if you can adjust the gearing for the 
appropriate rate - and even have the clock strike the hour after full 
travel, telling you to rewind!

an all dry alternative to an otherwise all wet solution... to quote Tom 
Lehrer:
"There may be many others, but they haven't been discovered"
