3-Weight VIENNA REGULATOR - Antique Clock - Grande Sonnerie c1880 Video Clips. Duration : 2.35 Mins.
See and hear this 125 year old clock as it counts all quarters of 6 o'clock and then the 7 o'clock strike. Notice that on each strike, it first counts the quarters, then counts the hour. For example 6:30 is 2 strikes on one gong followed by 6 strikes on the other. A small lever on the side of the dial will permit you to repeat the most recent strike - hence, these are sometimes called "blind man's clocks".
