• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Info on Berguer, London bracket clock?

    Info on Berguer, London bracket clock?

    Info on Berguer, London bracket clock?

    I’ve come across a musical bracket clock marked on the dial and the back plate with “Berguer, London” and was wondering if anyone had any information about the clockmaker or any similarly marked clocks. Britten lists a Charles Berguer as a musical clockmaker in Lonion c. 1825 a sell as a couple...

    Grande Sonnerie Vienna Weight Query

    Evening all! Thanks for the replies. I had also never seen a weight that was slightly different in size. They have always been matching (in size if not in weight) or wildly different (older more complicated examples). I would post a pic but the camera is on the fritz... Xmas is around the...

    Grande Sonnerie Vienna Weight Query

    Hello! First-time poster here hoping to pick some brains... I am looking at another Vienna regulator to add to the wall and wanted opinions on a possibly curious aspect of the clock. It is a Grande Sonnerie movement with a case in the Transitional/almost Aldeutsche style. I've never had...
