Clock Quiz Made it a bit Easier

[oldhippy]

Here are 5 clock movements. I want the type of movement and the country that they are from. Be careful and study the movements because this is hard. One or two are not so obvious as you might think. With no answers it looks as if it is to hard. So to help you here is the list of countries. France, America, UK, Austria and Germany.

Well these are my thoughts guesses,

1, I'm not quite sure about this one but I think its a cuckoo clock movement which would I think make it the German movement

2, first thought's it looks like a french striking movement in layout but with none of the quality so maybe a German Hermle but they are mostly floating balance escapements, after a bit of reading I think this is a American Seth Thomas 8 day time and strike movement

3 Austrian or maybe German  striking Vienna regulator movement

4, This is a English Turret clock

5, French Morbier striking clock

Without any research (googling) I would say.

1.UK
2. French
3.German
4. USA
5.Austria

Well I wouldn't of got any of those correct other than I guessed number 2 looked like a French striking clock, but the quality wasn't there, so was obviously made elsewhere copying a French clock.

I do like it when you post quizzes like this as I do learn quite a bit
