Description
It is an 8 day timepiece, the pendulum suspended from a thread loop at the top, and driven by a rotating finger on top of the ball. The spring movement in the ball is driving the rotating finger and the rotating ball pendulum is allowing the power from the spring to escape at a set rate. The screw levelers on the base can be turned up or down to level the clock. We set it on the base, hung the pendulum, and it has been running now several hours. We have sold a couple of originals, and some of the reproductions. The repros are really neat.
