Schindler in Wien (Vienna), 95 mm, 390 g, circa 1800
An extremely rare, skeletonized, small wall clock
Case: brass, glazed on both sides. Dial: eccentric silver chapter ring. Movm.: skeletonized, chain/fusee, verge escapement, three-arm brass balance.
The finely engraved dial with particularly exquisite engraving in the centre is carried on a wheelbarrow pushed by a peasant, where the front wheel is the balance of the watch. A truly striking watch - to the best of our knowledge only four other comparable watches exist.
