Description

Carl Werner year-long runner wall clock,ca. 1895. Carl Werner worked out of Villingen, Germany and is perhaps best known for his year-long runner wall clocks, as found here. The 43-inch walnut case has a clean finish, original crest, and four old glasses; there is carved ornamentation over the lower glass. The brass dial is tarnished, the hands proper. The heavy, triple-plate, fusee movement runs for one year on a winding and there are cards inside where a previous owner documented winding the clock each year from 1961 to 1979. This clock was originally retailed in Sao Paulo Brazil and bears a stamp from that retailer on the back. It is still running today. The only sale I can find of a Werner year-runner was a Schmidt’s Antiques in 2022 for $2900. $2500–$3000.
