I have a 19th century one without that crown. It's really impressive to see those 18th century babies alive and loved! Beautiful machine.
You can buy authentic reproductions as the original molds to n reproduce them still exist and they make them.
Amazing it's so beautiful and old and werks
They are difficult to date. It could just as easily be 1840 as they were made for a very long time with very few changes.
super Uhr
Szuper
la tige de suspension du balancier est faite pour un balancier avant

trop fort
Tento model mám tiež doma no chýbajú závažia-pondusy .Chcem ich odliať ale neviem pravú hmotnosť .Chcel bi som aby raz pracovali tak krásne ako tie vaše.
We no longer have this clock for sale but im sure you will find the weights required to restore it.
hello sir, I have a problem with my 1750 comtoise clock ... my points got wrapped up and run all by themselves ..., I think it comes from the meeting wheel escapement which is loose ... it is a clock from 1750, with a bronze mechanism. can you help me to adjust it please? thank you
What does that mean "points"? We don't use that term in the USA.
Why such a long pendulum?
Its a weight driven clock and the pendulum keeps it in time. If the pendulum was shorter the clock would run faster. The pendulum length is common among this type of clock, similar but not the same as a grandfather clock. Thank you.
