A Swiss concoction, they call, "Buco 1320", which they tout as a simple mechanical wood clock that should remind us that the first clocks were simple mechanical clocks.

Well it is simple. It is all wood except the two weights. They are brass, pointed on the ends, one is large, one small. The large pendulum looks like two childÕs building blocks, swinging side to side. The dial, cog wheels, balance and crown wheels, all wood. But it works. I wonÕt guarantee its accuracy. This one is brand new in the box. I would estimate it about 30 years old.
