VR-512 - Miniature Key-Hole with Mother of Pearl and brass inlay
Miniature Viennese clocks are always amazing, even more so when they have a case as stunning as this timepiece. The mechanisms are reminiscent of the exquisite pieces made by the small clock makers (think watch makers) in Vienna in the 1700's. Spring driven, ever so small, and ever so perfectly made. Pictures of the mechanism in this very unusual miniature can be seen here: http://www.snclocks.com/Fantastic-Clock-Mechanisms/Fantastic-Clock-Mechanisms/VR-512-Viennese-Miniature
As if the diminutive size was not enough, the blue numerals and the beautiful and perfectly executed inlay to the door take this clocks case over the top. Perfectly executed hands, brass-backed miniature pendulum, metal pendulum rod, silk-thread suspension - every thing about this little gem reflects the quality inherent in Viennese clocks!
