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.

Here is an opportunity to own an extremely rare monumental jeweler's regulator from Lenzkirch Uhrenfabrik, circa 1886 (s/n 667080). This magnificent Vienna regulator-styled clock in walnut is all original. Original everything, including finish. Read on!

(original catalogue)

Our consignor's (this) clock was photographed for one of Rick Ortenburger's books, Vienna Regulators and Factory Clocks, 1990, p.141 as you can see in the photos just below.

Physical: The walnut case, which measures 82"h x 22"w x 9.5"d is in excellent overall physical condition. There is slight (typical) veneer lift at the bottom of the door. Everything is original. Not only is this an exceptionally rare clock, but to find one that's all original is a treasure discovery. Are you hearing a theme here?

Serial-number dating of most clocks is pretty much an impossible task. First of all, most European clock factories did not preserve records; most American makers did not serialize their clocks. Chelsea was one of the exceptions. Lenzkirch, however, was a different story.

This clock bears serial number 667080 on both the movement and stamped into the back of the dial. From the chart in our Reference Library on the Lenzkirch page you will see that this places its date of manufacture at approximately 1886.

The original porcelain dial with sweep seconds hand measures 9.5" in diameter and we observed no cracks or damage.

Mechanical: The eight-day, time-only, deadbeat movement has been overhauled (and serviced regularly) by one of the top technicians on the West Coast. It will be lubricated again prior to shipment. It is original to the case and in excellent mechanical condition, keeping very accurate time. Note from the movement photo that it has a knurled knob for precise beat adjustment.

Comments: Very seldom do we have the opportunity to present a clock of this caliber and rareness. Please feel free to contact us to arrange purchase of this fine clock.

Shipping: We will arrange to have our blanket-wrap shipper pack and deliver the clock directly to you. You pay them directly.
