Grand Sonnerie Vienna Regulator, Ca about 1885, chimes each 15 minutes and reports the hour, either the one just past or the one coming up, depending on how you set the movement. It is a running 8 day movement with three brass weights, three brass pulleys, and brass bob, all in good condition, however they will show 120 years of use. The light walnut case is very large, standing 55 inches high. The clean case has carved half columns, carvings on the top and base, and attractively turned finials, all of which we take to be original to the case. Exception may be the old wood (not modern day plastic) eagle on top. Three good glasses, wall levelers, porcelain beat scale, old hands, and a good two-piece porcelain dial.
