I found this on the internet and thought it was worth sharing with others. I have not seen anything like it before.

All three instruments are set into an presentation in the form of an early mechanical steam engine with elaborate frame, rocking beam, flywheel, flyweight governor, steam chest, pumps and more. The whole complex train actually moves with a fascinating synchronous motion driven by an extremely powerful all brass spring clockwork movement.

The early 8-day clock has a jeweled movement with scarce "cylinder escapement".
