Here are 3 pictures of some Vienna Regulators at my house, illustrating how the styles changed over the years. The first one is simple and elegant, no frills and frou-frous, The finish on the case is false grain over some sort of soft wood. The movement is unmarked and it is 8-day time only. <BR>The second is from a later period with all the fancy turnings, knobs, etc. prevalent then. It also is a time only clock.<BR>The third one shows a return to the simple unadorned case. This one is very art deco; all the corners are round except for the very small block at the base of the clock. It is so streamlined that the wall stabilizer screws are inside the case. Thick beveled glass in the elliptical view port in the door, the dial and hands resemble those on railroad watches. unlike the other Vienna Regulators which have a very light pendulum made of a thin sheet of brass with a zinc? back, this one has a brass cover over a massive block of lead. Just the bob alone weighs over 5 pounds I'm sure. This one is a quarter-striker with 3 trains. Sorry about any dizziness caused by the wallpaper.

John,
Thanks for posting those. Viennas are very beautiful clocks and accurate timekeepers. It is interesting to see the three styles side by side.

My favorite is the first one. Simple - elegant - soothing to listen to.

Great clocks!

Nice clocks John, any person who has a regulator i am sure tresures them.Yours are all nice.
Great pictures and thanks for sharing them.

The first clock was made in quanity in the last quater of the 1800's.It is a public clock both used in Austria and Germany.This could have a Vienna movement or german movement in the case. Send me a picture and I will tell you. The other 2 clocks are of German manufacture and are not Vienna regulators.Their are a number of excellent articles on Vienna and German style (Vienna) regulators in the past Bulletins.Your Bahause clock (art Deco) is very often a over looked clock. They were the last of the 3 weight movements and look very well with modern furniture.Good luck Viennas are addicting

Thank you, Mr. Barr. in future I will be more circumspect in my choice of clock names. I know that the clocks are not true Vienna Regulators, but that is the term most used when referring to them. These were all purchased in the mid-1960's when a truck load could be bought at Merritt's for about $45 or so each.
We always referred to them as one-, two-, or three-weight wall clocks. There are presently 8 or so living at my house; others have been sold or traded over the years.
