I worked on a Gustav-Becker torsion clock today. Couldnβt get it going but was fun nonetheless.

Let's post photos of old clocks that don't work.
I have no idea what this one is, I believe it's a wind up something or rather but it belonged to great grandparents. probably hasn't worked in a century lol. Looks nice though.
that's lovely, Swiss?
It looks english but honestly I have no idea.
Date on it is 1859.
It chimes when you wind it up and manually move the minute hand past 12 but doesn't keep time :(
I have several! None of them work but theyβre nice to look at
I really like the mirror
