This is a hard to find example of a Black Forest Automaton. This clock was made by Gordian Hettich of Furtwangen C. 1890
The movement is a cast brass pinned movement... silk thread suspension.
Automation in the Monks arms, head and in bell in the tower.
Amazing, the level of automation and attention to details are something of an lost art...
Today's clocks are just a meere shadow of what the old ones are.
Someday I shall get myself an orginal blackforest clock..
Thanks for showing this amazing clock to us:) I loved it ^^
