AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Skeleton clock, so-called, water-mill clock, with a large water wheel and steel balls. This industrial clock has a large paddle wheel on the right side with small steel balls. The weight of these balls powers the clock. The time is read on a large porcelain dial with black Arabic numerals. Every minute a small ball falls from the water wheel onto a rail, where the steel ball rolls to the left. The water tower with a large spiral column picks up the balls one by one and lifts them up. Every 60 seconds a steel ball falls from the left tower onto the channel to the water wheel. This cycle repeats as long as the clock runs. The clock has a pendulum at the back to regulate the time. The entire operation of this clock is just like a water wheel, only the “flow” of the balls goes through the channel and there is a clock on the large water wheel.

The clock is protected by a glass case with a door at the front.
The clock measures 46 cm high, 41 cm wide and 25 cm deep, including the glass dome/cover.
The original was made by Peter Bonnert.
This is a beautiful reproduction, made in China.
The clock comes with a clear user manual/instructions in English (translated with Google Translate).

The operation is shown on YouTube: https://youtu.be/WPeSsWwXyMI

The Skeleton clock is safely packed and shipped in two parcels, insured with track & trace.
The glass cap/hood is sent in a separate package.
Shipping costs are therefore somewhat higher!!!
