The movement was made by Johann Bentele (also Bendele, Pendele), who was recorded to work as a clockmaker in Salzburg during the second half of the 18th century. In 1780 he built the tower clock of St. Peter, in 1782 the new clock of the Salzburg Cathedral and in 1799 the new clock in Mülln.
Condition:
The clock is in good condition with signs of age and wear. The dial with a small nick to the edge. The case with some chips and minor material losses. A winding key is not included. The clock worked during short-time in-house testing; long-term precision and regularity cannot be guaranteed. The dimensions are 78.5 x 39 x 20 cm.
