Korle(teib), (Lorenz Beitelrock), Lublin, 70 x 64 x 59 mm, circa 1770
A rare, small hexagonal quarter hour repeating horizontal table clock
Case: brass, gilt, engraved foliage scrolls, glazed screwed on windows to the sides, pusher for repetition at "12", baluster-shaped feet, rear bell. Dial: enamel, glazed. Movm.: hexagonal brass movement, chain/fusee, 2 hammers, verge escapement, three-arm brass balance, fine florally engraved and pierced balance bridge.
The Polish watch and clockmaker Lorenz Beitelrock (Lorenc Baytelrok und Wawrzyniec Baytelrok), however, has signed some of his timepieces with his backwards spelled name: Korle(teib). Beitelrock worked in Lublin, about 160 kilometres southeast of the capital Warsaw, in the mid-18th century. He must have been highly respected, as the royal collection in Warsaw Castle contains a hexagonal table clock by Beitelrock (Inv. No. ZKW-dep.FC/199).
