How it is made
It is a pendulum clock made to stand in a corner, simple and right for any home. It is all solid American tulipwood, with a back in birch plywood. In the base is the faceted raised panel, which comes out.
We finish the panel off the case, so its inside gets a proper coat too. The door has a lock and 5 mm glass, bevelled all round by Giovanni Casella. Stefano applies the water-based medium walnut finish, with a semi-gloss nitrocellulose clear coat.
The German Kieninger movement in brass plays the Westminster chime on bells every quarter hour and can stay silent at night. The dial, the lyre pendulum and the brass weights are by the German firm Jaeckle. It is wound once a week by pulling the free end of each chain, and one winding lasts up to 10 days.
