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.
