Viennese Dachluhr-style regulator, 1912-1922. This is a beautiful Vienna made in
the twentieth century by Jos. Mühlhauser, Wiener Uhrenindustrie GmbH. In Vienna. The 41-inch case is made from a wood I can’t
identify, with intricately inlayed darker wood around the dial. There is an upper door and a lower door with wavy glass is each
and two sidelights. The backboard is also made of this remarkably grained wood. The dial is milk-glass, the numbering
in paint with some loss. There is a hairline crack from the left winding port to the number 8. The 8-day, time-and-strike
movement is signed Wiener Uhrenindustrie GmbH with a serial number of 655 on the movement and mounting bracket. It is running
and striking on the hours and half-hours, driven by two rather worn and dented weights, probably not original to this clock. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful clock. This is a rare maker and I cannot find another example that has sold. If you can
provide any guidance please let me know. I’m estimating $750-$1500.
