Estimate value
€ 9 000 – 25 000
Table clock: museum-quality, extremely early horizontal clock with self strike and alarm, Jacob Widmann Augusta 1603-1664
Ca. 13 x 13 cm, square case on 4 feet, 4 oval windows on the sides, floral decoration on the face, hinged bottom, 2 bells, signed verge movement with self strike and alarm, extremely rare original dial with coloured enamel inlays and black enamelled numerals, probably original hands, intact, Augsburg museum clock. In our opinion, this clock was probably made around 1630/1640 and is still largely in its original condition. Like many of these clocks, a hairspring was added to this clock around 1700. According to Abeler, Jacob Widmann signed his name with various variations, e.g. Wiedemann, Weidemann etc. Horizontal table clocks from the period before 1650 are important collector's items for museums and only very rarely come onto the market. A video for this lot is available on our website.
