Here is
a beautiful mystery Congreve rolling ball clock. The original clock is invented by an English - Sir W.
Congreve in 1808 and it's valued over $40,000 if you can find one. This one
comes with a matching display stand and protective dome. The glass dome has
solid brass frames. You may have found similar clocks with a screw holding
glass domes. That kind of glass dome is just about to fall apart anytime. On
the other hand, all parts on our clock and dome are made of solid brass. And
our glass dome even has a front door, which allows you to wind the clock safely
without lifting up the heavy glass dome.
The
clock is made of heavy solid brass as well. The time shows on 3 separated
porcelain dials - second, minute, and hour. It's 3-1/2" in the center and
2-1/4" dials on each side. The clock is driven by a fusee chain movement. It
is really fun to watch this clock running. It has an 8 day movement. The small
steel ball is rolling back and forth on the lower platform with a zigzag track.
When the ball reaches the end of the table, it triggers the lever and the
platform instantly tilts. Then the steel ball starts to roll back to the other
end. It takes the steel ball 30 seconds to roll from one side to the other. The
complete clock is 19" tall and 15-3/4" by 15-1/4" wide. This
clock comes with a adjustable display stand, so the clock will work perfectly
even the surface is not. For the safety of this clock, the glass case will be shipped disassembled. Setup instruction comes for both the clock and the glass case. Feel free to email us any questions you may have.
All winding clocks
come with their key.
