This is a very special clock case - elegant, classic. The arches and fluted columns recall Romanesque architecture. The clocks are large, but not overbearing - definitely for the person of refined taste. When you have a case style this good, and a workshop with the technological expertise of Kieninger, you want to show off your broad range of options. The Palladio case is a great showpiece of what Kieninger has to offer. There are now 13 (!) different versions of the Palladio available, and they are all indexed here: www.NorthCoastImports.com/wr There are three wood finishes available (Walnut, Mahogany, Antique Natural Cherry) as well as a beautiful black lacquer finish.

I love visiting "TrumpeterMan" and his shop and personal collection of fantastic Black Forest and Viennese artifacts!

Our friend Bill Maier has recently started his own blog to document his impressive collection of rare, antique "Vienna" Regulator Timepieces. Here's a particularly stellar example from his collection: Gilded bronze skeletonized laterndluhr by Fertbauer, C. 1810. Overall height 67". Seconds beating, knife edge suspension riding on a gimbal. The gimbal is held by two L shaped brackets through the front plate of the movement, typical Fertbauer design, sweep seconds with sub dials of minutes, hours, and date. Stay tuned for more input from this great collection! [via ViennaRegulators.org ]

Here's an interesting piece. It's another Vienna Regulator with a very lovely carved case. The case is carved is a rare hardwood, possibly mahogany. The weight doesn't match. It's got a Jugendstil-style weight and the pattern doesn't quite match the bob and case. I've been reading about diy chemical etching and will one day try to make a weight shell that matches. If you like this clock, be sure to check out our Amerling regulator with it's fine "Bird's-Eye" Maple case. "Vienna" Regulators have often been the standard for fine mechanical wall clocks. Their elegant proportions, and high-quality mechanisms create what is for many the epitome of accurate and stylish mechanical wall clocks.

This is a early Biedermeier Vienna Regulator C. 1835 is a recent addition to the collection. 6 light fruit wood case. One piece white glass dial with case engine turned bezel. 8 day 1 weight movement. 38" H 11" W. The previous owner purchased the clock in Austria in the late 1940's and brought it to the western United States. The clock is in mint untouched condition, from the bone handled winding crank to the delicate hand cut pulley.
