Below are photos of a three-weight Vienna Regulator wall clock (circa 1860) as it was disassembled. The three-weight version strikes the quarter hour on one chime rod, followed by the hour on another chime rod. For example, at 6:45, it would strike three times on one gong, followed by six times on the other gong. Most mechanisms, like this one, are unsigned, but prominent names, such as Gustav Becker, are sometimes found on the mechanism. All Vienna Regulators are collectible. The threeweight Viennas are particularly rare and desirable. All parts were fitted and finished by hand.
