C.1829, Binder, in Wien, unusual Bodenstanduhr with Huygens pull up movement, meter pendulum, and with only two wheels in the going train. This is a period clock with lots of potential. There are some hurts which bear mentioning: the dial is very poorly restored; enameling is questionable and the minute and seconds hands are incorrectly replaced. However the top hung movement is original to the case, pendulum, although steel backed is quite old and the top keystone is correct. The original gilt brass weight is engraved with a foliate border, and with the initials: "JB - FB, AD1829". The original brass beat scale near the bottom is engraved Binder in Wien. We are not sure of the running duration on this clock, but imagine it is less than a week. Early and very unusual. Depth 3" (7.7cm) Height 72 inches
