These clocks are mainly working, legged, can play music,
automat, have a calender, have a spiral mechanism
unlike French clocks they are crafted from wood, tortoiseshell,
silver or crystal. These elegant clocks have a large
variety. Different from French tradition sometimes
instead of arranging the toothed-wheels back to back
using spacing shells, they use a construction which
has a spiral mechanism under a single shell.
The English watches and clocks that are in to music,
have the ability to ring in every quarters, calender
system and mufflers are unique mechanisms that hide
everything inside. While French clocks are serial
produced in the 19th century, English clocks and watches
reflect their craftsman. The watches which use the
same mechanical construction as the English watches
at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th
century that are German and American, are mostly in
the wall-clock form. Austrian clocks are like French
mechanical style clocks. They are small, stylish,
porcelain table-clocks. In the collection we can find
classic wooden Vienna wall-clocks also. |
