VR-336 - Month-duration Serpentine Austrian Granne-Sonnerie striking Vienna Regulator
The clocks case has been beautifully restored to an unbelievable standard. It is obvious that the finish has been hand rubbed and polished to reflect the techniques used originally on a clock of this caliber. It is indeed a pleasure to run your hand over the woodwork - to feel how beautifully the restoration has been executed. With its dark walnut coloring, accented with faux finish to the inside of the door, the door rails and the inside of the top and bottom of the clock, this piece will make a very refined and elegant statement. And, it is a month running Vienna Regulator with granne-sonnerie strike.
The mechanism is dirty, but appears to be in very good condition, under the oil and dirt. In addition, note the delicate piercing to the mechanism crutch, the dial, in perfect condition with no hair-line cracks, the very fine original hands, the zinc backed pendulum bob (tarnished, but with no obvious dings), the heavy weights (which need polished and a bit of work to be very presentable), the old winding key with a wooden handle, the door lock with original key, the wavy glass to all three windows, the lovely, and quite large original wall stabilizers, the five-spoke pulleys that match and are in great shape, and the old and appropriate beat scale: This clock offers an opportunity to own a very desirable clock in excellent condition.
