Rottenburg 7304 G - glass bell Waaguhr

Rottenburg
7304 G - 9" x 19" x 6"
A reproduction of a Black Forest "Waaguhr" of the Baroque era, this fine and unusual timepiece features four crystal glass bells. Every quarter-hour these four bells are struck by tiny brass hammers, sounding a random resonance much like wind chimes The dial or shield is completely hand painted with relief carving.

Each clock is individually hand painted by the award-winning painter Conny Haas and this particular clock was the winner of the 2001 Black Forest Clock design competition of the "VDS." (Black Forest Clock Association).

The Rottenburg is by Rombach und Haas and is exclusively available through North Coast Imports.

CHARMING!

Now tune the wine goblets.

Struck 10 at 6!

Sounds as though it is mimicking the Cambridge Quarters.

Love the delicate sounds.

ah fair enough then I just assumed because it was 4 note chimes it was supposed to be westminster but you do realise it IS playing the 4 notes in the order of westminster chimes.

[northcoastimports]

There are 4 notes, yes. Considering the size of the clock that's all the bells that would fit. The movement is made by SBS in the Black Forest and is also used in Grandfather Clocks etc. This is a modern, brass movement fit into a hand-painted and hand-carved case. The case is hand made by Rombach und Haas.

I like the concept but if thats supposed to be westminster it sounds of of tune.

[northcoastimports]

Thanks for your interest! No, this clock does not play the Westminster melody. Remember, this is a reproduction of a clock that was made BEFORE Big Ben. The original clock would have been made deep in the heart of the Black Forest in Germany and therefore had no real reason to play the chimes made famous in England. This clock plays four random notes to form a pleasant-sounding tetrachord. Think about the gentle breeze wafting over windchimes.

A very interesting clock. I would love to see the movement.
