Mystery 8 Day Fusee Chain English Congreve Rolling Ball Clock with Bell Striking

This Congreve clock comes with a second indicator on the zigzag track and a scale on each side to help you regulate the timing. It shows second from 0 to 30, as the ball rolls under it, you know exactly what second it is. When the platform tilts, the numerals change from 31 to 60. So you get a full indication of a minute. The scale on each side of the platform help you adjust the angle. Since greater angle makes the ball rolling faster and smaller angle makes it slower, you can use these scales to better regulate the time keeping of this clock. These are the exclusive features you won’t find from any other similar clocks.

This clock is made of heavy solid brass. The time shows on 3 separated porcelain dials – second, minute, and hour. It’s 3-1/4″ in the center and 2″ 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 with hourly single bell striking. 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″-1/4 tall and 15-3/4″ by 15-3/8″ wide.
