This clock was made by Franz Watzl of Vienna, Austria. Most likely while it was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, which was itself kaput as of 1918. Someone wrote in German that the clock was broken and didn't work. This was true. The escapement needed to be adjusted and put back in beat.

I like the little glass window over the balance and escapement. This is an eight day time only movement.

Kaput no more! The Franz Watzl is now telling time reasonably well. It needed a complete cleaning and adjustment.

Greg,

Interesting escapement. Always enjoy your posts, keep them coming.

Thanks,
Steve
