VR-625 Late Biedermeier Timepiece by Florian Pfefferl in Wien

Once in a while I will get the chance to work on a mechanism that reflects the individuality of a master craftsman. While Florian worked in Vienna he was not willing to do everything the same way as other Viennese masters. This mechanism is stunning, both for the quality of its execution as well as the individual touches that make it stand out. Note the screws, the details of the crutch and the anchor, the exquisite hands - and the very large mechanism, by Viennese standards. The plates, with their lovely arched tops, measures just under 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide at the base of the plates.
