Antique 1860s Astronomical Regulator Gravity Floor Clock Two Weight Chronometer Antique 1860s Astronomical Regulator Gravity Floor Clock Two Weight Chronometer Description This auction is for one of three really amazing antique clocks I have listed this week from the same massive local estate. The clock is an extremely rare Astronomical Regulator that was made back in the 1800s and used by the Navy to set their ship chronometers. The clock is unmarked from what I can see and it has a gravity escapement that uses 2 heavy weights - both included. It was meant to stand on the floor and has an unusual sliding door on the back to access the back of the movement. The clock is missing the pendulum unfortunately, and is untested. Besides the missing pendulum it's in great condition and looks complete. This is a massive clock and it measures about 70.5" tall, 21.75" wide and 11" deep and it's VERY heavy. Note that this can't obviously be shipped easily, but I can arrange for shipping. It will be expensive - probably $1000-$2000 depending on location. Pick up is recommended and FREE - located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Guaranteed as described!
