I AM SELLING THIS FABULOUS CLOCK FOR A CLIENT OF MINE. IT IS BEING SOLD SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW IT'S $3,500 VALUE!

THIS LARGE AND QUITE RARE CALENDAR CLOCK WAS MADE AT THE GEBRUDER WILDE FACTORY FOUNDED IN 1872. THIS CLOCK WAS PROBABLY MADE AROUND 1890 FOR THE SPANISH SPEAKING MARKET. THE WILDE FIRM WAS QUITE SMALL, DID NOT MAKE MANY CLOCKS AND CLOSED DOWN IN 1915.

MOVEMENT:
THIS RARE CLOCK NOT ONLY HAS A PERPETUAL CALENDAR IT ALSO STRIKES THE HOUR AND HALF HOUR.
 THE 8 DAY MOVEMENT IS UNUSUALLY LARGE AND IN GOOD CONDITION. NOTE THE EXTRA HEAVY PLATES AND BRASS GEARS WITH SOLID STEEL PINIONS.
THE CALENDAR MECHANISM IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE..
AS WITH MOST OF THESE CLOCKS THE SILK TAPE THAT SHOWS THE DAY OF THE MONTH WAS TORN AND REPLACED.

CASE:
THE CASE IS ALL ORIGINAL INCLUDING THE FINIALS.
THE CASE WHICH IS QUITE LARGE IS WALNUT, BURLED WALNUT WITH A SECONDARY WOOD OF POPLAR. THERE ARE TWO DOORS: THE FRONT WITH IT'S ORIGINAL GLASS GLASS GIVES ACCESS TO WINDING THE CLOCK. THE SECOND DOOR BEHIND IT GIVES ACCESS TO THE MOVEMENT, PENDULUM AND INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE NOTE SOME OF THE FINIALS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND THERE IS SOME AGE SHRINKAGE.

DIAL AND PENDULUM:
THE 7 1/2 INCH DIAL IS PORCELAIN IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH TWO TINY HAIRLINE CRACKS WHERE THE HANDS PROJECT FROM THE DIAL.
THE  MOON STYLE HANDS ARE ORIGINAL.
THE PENDULUM IS OF COURSE ORIGINAL WITH SOME DENTS IN THE BRASS.
