Gustav Becker 2-weight Vienna Regulator, 1880-1885.  A 43-inch two-weight Vienna in a light-colored wood in excellent condition.  I believe all three glasses are original; the two-part porcelain dial is signed (Karl Klose, Vöslau), a town south of Vienna.  The brass shell weights are engraved, the top and bottom case-pieces are carved and original, the finials are likely replacements, well-matched.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed Gustav Becker with the serial number 488559, dating it to 1880-1885.  It is running and striking a chime rod on the hours and half-hours.  A very nice example. $250-$500.
