Wall Mount European style Regulator Clocks

Here are a couple of Vienna or European regulator clocks I have made in the past. The Myrtlewood one was made as a wedding gift for my daughter and son in law. It is a basic weight driven hour/half hour strike movement.

The Cherry clock is one I made for myself. I found the $400 multi strike (every quarter hour) Hermle movement on sale for $150 so I couldn't pass it up. While it appears to be a two weighted movement both weights are joined in one bridle to drive the time and the strikes are spring driven. The strike will play three different sounds, including Westmnister, St. Michaels, and another that I can never remember the name of. Because it was a "clearance" item it did not come with any spec sheets so I had to figure them all out myself. Such as pendulum length and so on. Then I had to design a cabinet to fit. 
I have since also added a Lyre type pendulum which really dresses it up.

These clocks are quite a challenge to build because of the close tolerances required. I have build a number of other reproduction clocks such as school clocks, Seth Thomas #2, Railroad clocks and a couple of my own design. My wife says we are running out of wall space for clocks (-: The tic tocking gives our house the feeling it is alive. I wind them up every Sunday. I can't stand the idea of doing all that work on the cabinet and then putting a battery run clock movement in it. To each his own (-;

How do you adjust for the time-zone difference LB?

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Beautiful

Thanks everyone. 
Building these clocks is a real pleasure because you know with care they will last over 100 years. The mechanical movements should be cleaned and oiled every 3 to 5 years to make them last. I have a 3rd similar one, my first, that is Walnut.

Duck,

I think in you hemisphere you might have to mount them upside down.
