Miniature weight-driven clocks are unusual, and very sought after by Vienna Regulator collectors. This clock, in beautiful condition, with its oh-so correct and petite components, is an excellent example. 

Look at the miniature pulley, just 1 inch in diameter, the weight - 1.25 inch by 2.25 inches, very heavy bob, brass backed, held together with brass rivets around its periphery (a really neat feature, often found in the earliest clocks), and only a little over 3.75 inches in diameter, the small pendulum rod, original, and in great condition, the beautifully executed suspension spring holder, unusual on this small of a clock, miniature brass beat scale, and porcelain dial, just over 3.75 inches in diameter (to the outside of the bezel) with a few chips around the winding hole, a few scratches, but no hairlines, and a lovely old wood-handled key! And it runs, with a beautifully clean mechanism.

Ornate, and in very nice condition, this clock is reminiscent of clocks that would have been made for the Turkish market. I have a thing for the smaller clocks, especially when they have all the right bits with them - from the small dial and bob, to the high quality mechanisms that have to cope with a shorter weight drop than the larger ones, but still run a week, on a very small weight. The dial bezel is also a bit unusual, with its beaded outer rim - while it is spun brass, it is heavier than normally encountered - a nice touch.

This clock is missing its finials, has old glass in the door and one side panel, and two of the pieces of brass trim, the two at the bottom of the door, are newer, well made, but newer.

Caveats - One side glass and two of the brass ornaments are later, and is missing its finials.
