Professional Opinion: Vienna Regulators typically come in three sizes, the Full Sized Wall Clock, the Dwarf Wall Clock, and the Miniature Wall Clock. Of theses three items, the rarest is the Dwarf Wall Clock. Personally, I've gone through several dozen of the full sized wall clocks, about 18 to 20 Miniatures, and this is the ONLY Dwarf wall clock that I have ever owned or remember seeing (albeit, I'm sure that there are many more out there, just not nearly as many as the other types of Viennas). Besides that, the signature is very clear and totally intact, the dial is totally intact, and it comes with a Pie Crust Bezel! Besides that, the entire clock is in EXCELLENT condition & Overall, Dwarf Clocks Are VERY Rare!!


Hello, And Thank You
For Taking The Time To Look At Our Listing!


Just As A Note, The Watch Is Running Fine, Keeping Good Time, And Should Provide Many More Years Of Excellent Service!!

The back of the case is made from solid Rosewood, while the rest I believe to be Walnut.
When you first look at the clock, you immediately notice the outstanding Double Sunk Dial with the Pie Crust Bezel!! What a Great looking Dial!


With the front door open, you can easily see the Rosewood back much more clearly, as you can see the Rosewood accent curved around the top, the beauty of the Dial & Pie Crust bezel, as well as the brass weight and the large Brass Pendulum Bob!


This oblique shot of the clock, gives you a very good view of the beauty of the wood, brass, and dial all intermingled together to form a single beautiful Dwarf Clock!!


This angled shot of the top right hand corner of the clock, allows you to see the detailed carving of the case, the beauty of the dial, the Rosewood accents, and the Ash finials.


This bottom oblique shot, shows more clearly, the Walnut case tipped in Rosewood, the beauty of the grain of the Rosewood at the bottom of the case & overall, the pure elegance of the case!


We've already covered the beauty of the dial & the Pie Crust bezel, but this better shows the true beauty of the Pie Crust bezel, the panicles on the Walnut case, tipped with Rosewood!


A close-up pict of the Dial & the Pie Crust bezel.


An even closer shot to how you the signature of the clock's maker, "W. Schönberger" & where the clock was made "in Wien", or rather, in Vienna, Austria.


A nice side shot of the Movement that drives this maagnificent Dwarf clock!


This shot shows you not only the beauty of the case's back, but the 4 rods which the movement attaches to and a full shot of how the Pendulum Rod hooks up to and the where the crutch fits into the pendulum rod and finally, the large Brass Pendulum Bob! All of this, is accented with the carvings of the Dwarf case!


A close up of the back of the case's top, as well as the top of the case's back down to the metal bar, which holds the clock onto the wall.


This is a good shot of the entire back of the clock's case. The metal bar is where the clock hooks onto a hook that you should have solidly in the wall. If you should have any questions about setting up the clock, you can always refer to the Instructions we have at the top of the Vienna Regulator" Homepage.


Please contact me before following the price eBay quotes for Shipping, as I may have to ship the clock in 2 or 3 boxes for safety (1 box for the Case, then 1 for the Weight(s) & 1 for the Movement, if necessary - we can discuss this to make sure that we meet your needs. Also, if we ship by eBay methods, the clock will most likely not arrive safely!). Plus eBay quotes are not accurate to properly ship a clock of this nature.

Thanks,
