Hello, And Thank You
For Taking The Time To Look At Our Listing!
Just As A Note, The Clock Is Running Fine, Keeping Good Time, And Should Provide Many More Years Of Excellent Service!!
To look at the front of the Clock is a true joy!! There is absolute beauty in the simplicity of this piece and
the Huygens "Weight Winding System" is a true joy to operate, because all you do to wind the clock is to pull on the
Counter Weight!! This piece is the epitome of Biedermier elegance! The 6-Windowed Clock, with all Original Glass, is a thing of
beauty!! And I keep thinking that for me to part with it, is an act of lunacy!!
The Measurements of the clock are as follows:
Top - 10 1/4"
Middle - 8 1/2"
Bottom - 8 1/2"

This side shot of the Huygens allows you to see all 6 Windows & the fine color of this beautiful Ash case!
The empty case shows you that the Huygens is still in excellent condition, even after 160+ years! The
case is ultra clean and has been cared for by loving owners for over 8 generations!! On the back of the Case, near the top, you can see the
the pin on which the Movement is attached to.
A close up shot of the hook on the back of the case. This is the hook that supports the Movement.
A Perfect Glass Dial, with Red Filigrees between each Roman Numeral & the Cross Bar Diamond
Hands! As the dial is glass, you would instantly know if any harm had come to the dial. But this one is in excellent condition!!
The Gears, Silk Suspension, and Pendulum Rod of the Movement are obvious from this shot. A very clean and well designed system, and
Huygens is still noteworthy & very sought after today!!
The back of the dial & the movement shows you the clean exactness of the Brass used to make this glorious clock. The
thickness of the Brass Plates used in the movement, gives you an indication of how well the clock was built!
You can also see the loop, where the clock hangs on the upright pin that is attached to the back of the clock case. Its important to
have the case leveled, and then to adjust the level of the movement, or you can even move the clock case, to get the clock to be
evenly in beat!!
The top of the backboard of the case as it actually looks, this also shows you the fine grain of the Ash case and
also shows you the old tried & true system for hanging these clocks from the wall. You just place the hook that you have secured to
the wall, in through the piece of metal that has been laid across the indentation on the back of the clock.
Here you can see the entire back of the clock, having been cut from one piece of wood and even after over 160
years, the backboard is still sound, just as the day the clock was made
by Elsner & Petrovits!!
Well, that's all I can say. The Photos will tell you what you really want to know about the clock anyway, at
least that's what I focus on first!
