Model makers sometimes make hit n miss engines, which lose power
strokes so as to stabilize their speed somewhat.
For you, an electric clock, of the old line driven kind, fed with an
  electronic "hit n miss" mechanism which stops one in forty cycles of
  mains input would provide something of the effect of a Mars clock,
  at low cost.
