About the Item

24K Mini English William Congreve Rolling Ball Clock with Front Door & Storage Here is a beautiful miniature Congreve rolling ball clock. It's one of the smallest you can find. The first Congreve clock is invented by an English - Sir W. Congreve in 1808 and it's valued over $10,000 if you can find one. This one comes with display base and protective dome. The glass dome has solid brass frames and front door for easy access to the clock. The base has a storage drawer for the winding key or anything else. The clock is made of heavy solid brass. The time shows on 3 separated porcelain dials - second, minute, and hour. The clock is driven by a week duration fusee cable movement. It is really fun to watch this clock running. The small steel ball is rolling back and forth on the lower platform with a zigzag track. When the ball reaches the end of the table, it triggers the lever and the platform instantly tilts. Then the steel ball starts to roll back to the other end. It takes the steel ball 12 seconds to roll from one side to the other. The complete clock is 16" tall and 11" by 10-1/2" wide. This clock comes with a adjustable display stand, so the clock will work perfectly even the surface is not. This is a very rare miniature Congreve rolling ball clock, which you just don't see anywhere else. Make sure you don't miss this profitable item for your collection or store display.

Rare Vintage French Style Mystery 8 Day Waterwheel Rolling Ball Industrial Clock
Located in Danville, CA
For your consideration is a mystery Water Wheel Industrial Ball Bearing Clock. It comes with an 8 day movement and keeps very good time!! This water wheel industrial clock has a big paddle wheel on the right side which hold a a set of small steel ball bearings. The weight of these balls is propelling the clock. Please note the time shows a thin glass dial with Roman numerals. Every 60 seconds, a small ball drops down from the water wheel onto the track where the steel ball rolls to the left side. The bucket catches the ball and move it up one by one. Every 60 seconds, a steel ball drops from the left bucket on the channel to the waterwheel. Then the bucket drops down and go around to catch another ball bearing. The loops goes on as the clock keeps on running. The buckets chain is made of brass and nicely done. The power is received from an 8 day fusee movement inside the solid hardwood base, red ash. And the clock has a pendulum on the back to regulate the timing. The whole animation of this clock is just like a waterwheel except it's ball bearing "flowing" through channels and there is a clock on the big water wheel. The clock is protected by a glass dome. It measure 17-3/4" tall, 17-3/4" wide, and 8-3/4" deep including the glass dome. I'm sure this clock will upscale any clock store...
