This impressive grandfather clock with chimes from the 19th century is a high-quality antique piece of furniture that not only serves as a timepiece, but also as a decorative element. It consists of an elegant wooden casing with a warm, natural finish that underlines its classic look. The simple, straight-lined body and the high case give the watch an impressive premium. In addition to the visual and sound beauty, this grandfather clock offers a fascinating insight into traditional watchmaking. The mechanical drive, visible in the details of the gears and the cable, is a masterpiece of precision that ensures consistent and reliable time display. The movement must be regularly hand-wound, reminding the owner of the care and dedication that goes into such a historic timepiece. The movement showcases the precise craftsmanship and technical sophistication of a mechanical watch, featuring an integrated chime, second hand and date display. It is a solid brass movement known for its durability and reliability. The combination of these functions makes this movement a complex and valuable piece that goes far beyond simple timekeeping.
