Vienna Striking Wall Clock

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

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

    • Hmmm you know when i said some damp might have caused the bubble originally hmmm 🤨
    • Are you all jerking my chain, I'm a yorkshireman £4.04 is too much 😆
    • [Myota2034] Custom simple quartz watch — PricewaterhouseCoopers On a very very different note, here is a watch from approximately 2000 when I was a Partner with PwC, Management Consulting. It was a simple “marketing watch” with a clever “vase of knowledge” that is subtly revealed on the dial as the second hand progresses. Clever for a simple watch!⌚️
    • I think someone else has though. Some where here using a modified perspex sheet. I may be wrong i may be right , i think it involved fitting the arbor to a pin vice. I dont have experience of the bergeon winders, are the handles not interchangeable ?
    • Never tried dial dots, i always considered them as a bit of a bodge.  You are adding something that was never intended to be there. I wonder how the adhesive reacts to any part of the movement, hot summer heat and i think things might turn sticky. Most adhesive backed stuff has a tendency to soften and slide around so it may spread, i have used a lot of so called sticks all adhesives in my industry that are just not up to the job. I suppose they get you out of a problem quickly, but how permanently might that be ? I would just explain to the owner that it may or may not work. WWs other ideas are a much more permanent solution but both have their risks . I've tried milling and dial feet replacements, hmm it was ok, ive heard of folk dimpling the face , so that needs care . And i have soldered a few times , all with good results but i am very careful and I practiced it a lot.
