The Swiss have sustained a several hundred year tradition of clock making. This particular clock rings on the hour and a half hour and the quarter hour. It is in very good condition but will need adjusting and cleaning when it arrives. It has eight tigs and eight hammers. Because it has not been used for a while it strikes the hour quarter hour and a half hour but the music is not playing at the hour.
