Lovely. Is there a chance to get plans for this?

That's very cool, just shows you don't need much to have fun !! :)

There is a book which describes how to make a paper pendulum clock, and if I remember right the materials are part of the book.

Whta makes the tick-tack sound so sonorous? Some metal pars hitting?

The only metal parts are the bushings and pins. The videos was filmed in a corner so that echoes the sound. I think it also has to do with the size of the escapement.

how is the hairspring made?

I bent some memory wire into the right shape and tweaked it a little until it worked.

It works with .45ACP?

The weight of the ammunition rotates the escapement wheel.

It was the right weight to get the escapement to function. if there's too little weight, the balance wheel doesn't have a big enough amplitude for the escapement to function reliably. If there's too much weight then there's too much friction between the pallet forks and escapement wheel and that also causes it to not function reliably.
