TURRET CLOCK WITH WHEEL BALANCE
South German, Augsburg ca. 1600, the base plate marked IM and with the Augsburg pyr.
Chased bronze and copper, engraved, punched and gilt. Rectangular, architecturally structured case, engraved on all sides with scrolls, flowers and scrolled leaves. The corners set with three-quarter columns. Temple-like, openwork belfry, framed and crowned by obelisks. Above the bell is a hunting scene, which was originally revolving. On a square, stepped and profiled base and pomegranate feet. Front with gilt chapter ring with Roman and Arabic hours and central alarm disc. Rear dial for the striking mechanism. All sides with portico-shaped frames, probably originally inlaid with small sculptures. Movement with pillar construction, movement and striking train arranged one behind the other. Going train with verge escapement and wheel balance (probably later rebuilt). Hour strike on bell. Winding with string via worm wheels.
13.5 × 13.5 ×31 cm.
Gilding rubbed, various losses and some missing parts. The movement has at some time been converted to a front pendulum, later rebuilt to a wheel balance. Rotating hunting scene possibly later, no longer functional. Winding string of going train broken, movement requires revision.
