Description
A classic example of German horological craftsmanship. This wall clock, often referred to as a "Regulator," features a solid wooden case with a clean, dignified design characteristic of the late Wilhelminian or early Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) era.

The dial is silvered metal with Arabic numerals and bears the prestigious "Walking Lion" logo with the initials U.M. The lower door is fitted with original glass featuring an elegant etched floral motif, showcasing the pendulum's movement.

Technical Details
Skeletonized Plates: The brass movement is built with "cut-out" or skeletonized plates. This design was a hallmark of specialized German engineering during this era, offering a fascinating view of the gear train while maintaining structural integrity.

Stampings: The back plate is stamped with the number "43," indicating the pendulum's technical length.

Condition: The wooden case is in very good aesthetic condition with a beautiful natural patina. The movement is visually complete but has not been tested for timekeeping or strike functionality. It is offered as a high-quality piece for collectors or restoration enthusiasts.

Historical Background: Union Müller
Founded in the late 19th century by Christian Müller in Mühlau, Saxony, the Union-Uhrenfabrik became synonymous with reliable and stylish domestic clocks. The "Walking Lion" trademark (U.M.) was their signature of quality, used until the company underwent restructuring and changes in production in the early 1920s. Their clocks were highly regarded across Europe for their precision-cut movements and the durability of their materials, making them a staple of the "Golden Age" of German clockmaking.
