Viennese Regulators
Viennese regulators (“Laterndluhrs, Dachluhrs“), made in the first half of the 19th century in the former regions of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy, have a high significance in museums and collections and achieve top prices by auctions and art-trades. Depending on the design of the case and the mouvement of the clock, the indication and the precision of the movement, but above all the duration up to one year are those, which the value of these uniques account for. Sounding names like Fertbauer, Happacher, Wibral, Glückstein, Brändl, Binder or Mahrenzeller were even over the last years among the top lots of international auction houses.
Regulators of this time win over through elegant proportions and best technical construction.
Movements of Laterndl and Dachl clocks are constructed in such a high quality and so accurate, that they often differ in precision of the movement only maximum +/-1minute per year. The cogwheels, hands and all details were manufactured by purest handcraft by the best masters of their guild.
