Mini clock

Description

This little German gem, a so-called Sorguhr, dates from the middle of the 19th century.
Height: 2.5 cm

Case
The extremely small brass case has doors to the sides and a plate covering the back with two spikes, and a hoop attached to the top plate. The whole is almost entirely hidden behind the enamel dial.

Dial
The arched enamel dial has an Arabic chapter ring with five-minute and minute divisions. The time is indicated by a pair of blued-steel hands.

Movement
The weight-driven day-going movement has a going train only. It has anchor escapement and a pendulum with a brass bob, which swings behind the case.
