Hi,
In all reality, achieving these results without decades of experience is
probably unlikely. That said, are the specific plans available or
published anywhere? Is is possible that someone willing to build and
tinker could make a 'functional' copy of this unit?
I would guess that not all of the parts need extreme tolerances. But
even then many mills are holding positioning tolerances well under
.001", with tool deflections of .0001" or under (if run and maintained
properly, that is). My 'list' includes a mechanical clock build. And
this one would be a dandy to try to build!
In any case, the clock is still interesting to read about! It's great
that some of you are lucky enough to get to see it! :)

You could always use the traditional method of piercing saw and files.
Thinking about it I suppose files were the original milling machine. Be
aware that the horological approach is different from the engineering
approach and there are numerous traps waiting for the unwary. Harrison
and Martin's clock B have remarkable performance but could still be
improved by using multiple pendulums to overcome the noise effects for
example a two pendulum clock is performing within 1 second in six months
(so far) so I will have to get the hacksaw out for the three pendulum
version - or is it back to the GPSDO.
