VR-636 - A Stunning Gothic Miniature Vienna Regulator

This piece belongs in a museum. A stunning case, only 38 inches long with some truly phenomenal carving. The amazing thing is that the best part is still to come - the mechanism is a true masterpiece - as in a mechanism made by an aspirant as part of the process of becoming a master clock maker.

One detail that deserves mention - the pendulum bob face is riveted to the lead that virtually fills the bob, which ways just over 2 pounds. In comparison, the weight that drives the mechanism is under a pound.

An impossibly rare piece!
