Southern German Eisenuhr, circa 1730

A German clock with a green-tinted painted dial and doors. This typical iron movement consists of three mechanisms: movement, striking mechanism, and quarter-striking mechanism. It strikes once per quarter-hour on the smaller bell and fully chimes the hours on the larger bell. The Kuchwanzpendel (pendulum) at the front adds liveliness to its design. Cords with lead weights drive the clock's mechanisms. The dial measures 13 cm in width and 27 cm in height, with a runtime of one day.
