VR-603 Altdeutsche Vienna Regulator with a music box in the base
It is hard to imagine a more attractive example of hte Altdeutsche period. The beautifully-patterned veneers used in the case, coupled with the exquisite finish makes this piece truly stunning. As you look through the pipctures it is hard to believe this piece is nearly 150 years old. And, it is in perfect, working condition. The real charm of this clock is not even the fantastic casework - but the music box in the base. In as much as this is a 3 weight Viennese mechanism, each 15 minutes the clock strikes the quarter, followed by the hour. Then, on the top of the hour, after striking the quarter and the hour, the music box plays one of four tunes. The box runs for a day on a wind, while the clock runs for a week. $14,000 plus delivery charges. This clock is large enough that it will probably be best shipped motor freight.
