Oh, I'm not holding the bottom. There's a little hole under the case so you can access the pendulum. I always stop the pendulum after I chime it so that I can wait an hour and reset it to the time. It uses count wheel striking, so I can't push it backwards.
That is what you call a Wag-on-the-Wall. It's an AMS. wall clock with an 8 day German movement. AMS. seems to be some retailer of sorts, you can find a variety of different clocks from mantel clocks to large wall clocks with their name on them, all using Hermle movements or movements that are alike. I'm not actually sure what kind of movement this one uses, I know it's German though.
As I said, it's a fire escape window. It's open for lots of different bugs and critters to get in and make it their home. The window keeps them out, but their mess is still seen. It's a basement fire escape window, so I don't really care how it looks. I just wanted sunlight in the room for the recording.
@@kadespiteri4459 Well, technically that's just how long it's been in my possession, but hopefully it'll end up in someone's home to continue to be appreciated.
