Introduced in the late 16th century, the Regulator dramatically improved accuracy in measuring time with the addition of the pendulum to the weight-driven movement. The ''open heart'' design exposes the 7-day brass movement; the antiqued brass face is engraved with large Roman numerals artistically spaced by royal fleur-de-lis detailing. The antiqued brass bell on top strikes the hour, and the pendulum swings rhythmically as the weight lowers.
Glad I made this purchase. I've had no problems with it keeping accurate time. It looks good in the small space that I needed to fill.. Susan. Shrewsbury, PA. Fri Mar 15 2019
