The case measures a full 57.5" in length, 19" wide at
the top, 16" wide at the
base. The
door
measures 36" and has columns running the full length on either side and is done in the
Altdeutch Style (Please refer to our Home Page for a complete listing of all of the
Periods during which Clocks were made). The pendulum is ~33" in length, and the porcelain
dial is a
two tiered dial with a brass chapter ring insert and a the
original brass engine turned bezel that measures 7" in diameter.
The dial is flawless (i.e. no chips or hairlines of any sort).
The detail on the full columns
on either side of the case is magnificent. Just look at the
detail on the Corinthian tops of
the columns and the base of the
columns. A lot of detailed
work went into the engraved piece on top of the clock. The wooden
piece at the bottom of
the clock also has quite a bit of detail. All of the finials and
other parts of the case are original. The case is made from a very
nice grade of Walnut that really makes the clock stand
out! Both the pendulum and
the weights are
very nicely engraved and give the clock a great deal of appeal!
The clock is a Grande Sonnierie, so it chimes on the
hour, half-hour and quarter-hours on two
coiled
gongs (i.e. it chimes once for every quarter hour and then repeats
the hour). So at the top of the hour the clock will strike 4 times to
indicate that 4 quarter-hour periods have passed, and then will strike
the hour, at the 45 minute position, it'll chime three times and then
strike the hour, etc. There is also a "chime silencer" located at
the top of the dial (just
above the 1:00 position), in case you don't want the clock to chime, say
during the night or while you're watching a movie.
The mounting for the movement
(which sits on a wooden board) are two brackets that the movement slides
into - very neat and easy. Be sure to remove the weights first
before removing the movement, also the pendulum is fixed to the back of
the clock. I've had this
clock ticking on my wall for several years now, and its always kept good
time and attracted a lot of attention from the guests we've had.
