This is a beautiful Wallclock with a 3/4 Westminster Gong. The clock is a heritage from my Grandfather, where it dominated the living room. Every 1/4 hour a tone sequence is played, on the hour the time was announced by a triad in the number of the hour. A very nice movement in brass with a sophisticated gong mechanism. Via a drum the Westminster gong is played and via a chain bar the hours are played. The clock was produced around 1910, strill working. The wooden cabinet was originally stained in black.
