Vienna Striking Wall Clock

[luiazazrambo]

Hi Black- and Locksmiths, Clock- and Watchmakers,

I won this on an auction, but it was too big for ordinary delivery companies to pack and deliver to me and the ones who were willing to do so asked for such a money that I told myself it is better to lose the clock and leave it with the auctioneer. At the end my wife spent 4 hours on the road to pick it up for me, she told me that we have to go for an extra holiday this year.  Anyway.. what do you know about this clock and how much money does it worth if i may ask? 

Best regards,

Lui

In parts it looks newish ie the dial. Is either new or been very carefully looked after. It’s value is hard to determine but looking a eBay around the £250 area.

You have a very nice Vienna regulator Striking Wall Clock. I would say it's duration is 8 day with maintaining power ( a device so when winding the power is still keeping the clock ticking so it doesn't loose time) It has a full long case, so bits have come off but all are still there and can easily be put back. It has a dead beat escapement which is normal with this type of movement. The bezel has what is know as rope design again popular,  enameled dial with Roman numerals and subsidiary second dial. Nice columns which could be  ebony (but not sure) Pity no makers name on the movement. I would date this late 19 century. Value as it is about £450, restored around £1,000
