WR 2731-57-01 – Spherica
11″ x 54″ x 7″
The Spherica is a monumental regulator with visible movement. It combines innovative features like a perfectly spherical pendulum bob, which creates a unique optical effect in the enlarging mirror directly behind. The large bell gives a pleasing passing single strike every hour.
This sculptural piece features the inventive aspect of suspending the swinging bob from a metal cable, rather than a traditional stick or rod. The woven cable has less wind resistance during its period of oscillation, and gives the appearance of the massive sphere floating back and forth against the convex mirror. The cable suspension means that you can also regulate the period while the clock is running.
The mechanism has diamond milled edges and a chrome finish. Its pivots guard against wear and friction, utilizing 8 ball bearings and 6 jewels. It's long and slender layout boasts a clear view of the beautiful kinetic Graham escapement.
The Spherica is by Kieninger and exclusively available through North Coast Imports.
