Spring-wound - wound with a key, runs for 3-5 days.
Half-beating (1/2) - beats every 30 minutes.
Columns and legs made of Alabaster.
Chiseled brass ornaments.
Corinthian capitals and other applications - polychrome - gilded with gold leaf.
Chiseled pendulum and dial in combination with enamel.
The mirror on the background of the columns optically multiplies the space and light reflections, emphasizing the movement of the pendulum.


Identification of the movement of the "Little Angel - Blacksmith" automaton.
A small mechanical figure (so-called Cupid/Amor) is placed in this case in the dial. In this type of clock, this figure, or an element connected to it, is often in continuous motion. Its purpose is primarily to visually fascinate the viewer and emphasize the constant and magical flow of time, which is set in motion by this mechanical "divine" messenger. Antique patterns are typical of the Empire style (the Napoleonic period).
