Viennese Musical Clock

Viennese clocks typically feature extremely detailed decoration, in the style of a carriage clock. – That is a mechanical clock in a rectangular design. There are also more traditional wall clocks – with a pendulum and a classic case design.

Most Viennese clocks chime or strike on the hour. Some will also feature a short melody before striking each hour to count the time.

It is possible to find some really unique designs when it comes to Viennese clocks. Some feature scenery paintings on the case, or a small painting.

For some amazing examples of Viennese clocks, you should look for the beautifully elaborate giant grandfather clocks. The heights of these clocks vary, but some examples are as tall as 8 feet – carved, painted and you can only imagine the amount of work that goes into creating a clock of that detail. These hand-made masterpieces do not come cheap – expect to pay an astonishing $5000 or more.
