W. Dieckmann, Celle. (Hannover.) 



Sculptor. 

 Geographical, astronomical and chiming art clock. 



This clock rests upon a pedestal made of American walnut wood, 

 treated in the style of modern renaissance of the 16th century. The 

 clock and pedestal together have a height of 2.70 meter. The front 

 dial is made of ivory, ebony, rose wood and mother of pearl. The other 

 dials are made of enamel, the figures and hands of fire gold. Beside 

 the main dial the clock has on either side of the case 8 dials which 

 indicate the times of the following towns: 



Left side: 



Europe: Berlin, Stockholm, St. Petersburgh, Constantinople, 

 Vienna, Eome, Paris, London. 



Right side: 



North and South America: Washington, New York, 

 Philadelphia, Carracas, Buenos Ayres, Quito, Mexico, 

 San Francisco. 



On the opposite side of the main dial the clock has a permanent 

 calender movement which indicates the day of the week, the day of the 

 month, the time difference between mean and actual solar time and the 

 phases of the moon. This movement effects also automatically the change 

 of day in leap years. 



The clock work is actuated by a spring and requires winding once 

 in 8 days; It strikes the quarter and full hours. Every hour after the 

 striking of the full hour the clock sets a musical movement in motion 

 which plays a fresh piece every hour. 



The clock and pedestal are decorated with 54 sculptured represent- 

 ations and ornamentations. 



The clock is for sale. Intending purchasers are requested to commu- 

 nicate with Mr. Hirschmann, the representative at the Exhibition.
