Over our twenty-five years in business we've almost always had a list of people who were looking for log-running Vienna regulators. Generally, if one can find one, it's a 30-day hanging configuration. But here is a magnificent Austrian standing 45-day clock from the last quarter of the 19th Century just waiting for that special place in your home or office. Forty-five days! Everything on this clock is original... everything.

NOTE: We took the photos in the consignor's home in the late afternoon with very red sunlight coming in the windows. In some cases we were able to decrease the over-powering red coloration, while in others, not so much. We did our best! But we can guarantee that this is a beautiful clock. It will show better in your home against against a neutral-colored background!

Physical: The walnut case, which measures 92"h x 22"w x 12"d is in excellent overall condition with original finish and original glass. The outside diameter of the engraved silvered and brass dial is 10.5".
It matches the engraved pendulum bob. Note also that the ornate
carving in the midsection is repeated in the base.

Mechanical: The heavy-duty 45-day time-only movement with thick plates is in excellent mechanical condition. Note the wood mounts. It has just been professionally serviced by one of the top technicians on the West Coast. Won't it be nice to only have to wind it every month and a half? (!)

Comments: Opportunities to own a clock of this caliber/running duration do not come along very often. Here's your opportunity. Please give us a call to start the acquisition process.

Early in the year we were offered this beautiful "RA" Vienna Regulator. "RA" stands for "Retard/Advance" which is often shown on a porcelain insert on round pendulums on clocks of this genre. It had belonged to the parents of the consignor.

So the clock was shipped to us and we have since cleaned up the case, replaced three finials (which took eons to accomplish) and had the movement fully serviced.

Physical: The walnut case, which measures 43"h x 15.625"w x 7.5"d is in very good condition. There have been repairs to the tabs on the left and right side of the crown. We thoroughly cleaned and overcoated the case with Howard's Restore-a-Finish to add back faded color and then thoroughly waxed the case.

The 5.25 diameter porcelain dial with decorative center and repoussé pendulum are original to the case and in excellent physical condition. (Repoussé or repoussage is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is shaped by hammering from the reverse side to create a design in low relief.) The front glass is bubbly, so original. We assume the same for the sides as the case literally would have had to be dismantled to change it out and that does not appear to have been done.

Mechanical: The eight-day time-and-strike movement is in excellent mechanical condition. When it went to our tecnician he discovered some missing teeth on a gear and repaired them. He is one of the top technicians on the west coast so you can count on his work to keep the clock running for years (service it every 3-5 years).

Comments: This is a stuning clock worthy of serious condition. We presently have it hanging between two large mirrors in our master bath and it looks fabulous there as it will in your home or office.

Shipping: This clock will be shipped by UPS ground. Generally, their fees also include packing and packing materials. However, in this case, the clock was shipped to us by UPS and the (elegant) double-box packing materials were not damaged or dinged up in transport, so we saved them. We don't normally do any packing but will in this case which will save you a lot of money as you will only have to pay for shipping and insurance, not packing that could approach the cost of shipping!
