Early Beha Cuckoo Clock with Exposed Bird and Eye Automata

Here is a video with narration of a very rare cuckoo clock made by Johann Baptist Beha. The clock has a large exposed bird that is prominently perched in an arch on the top of the case. The clock also has a beautiful painting on zinc of a lion who’s eyes move left to right in sequence with the pendulum... this complication is called an “Augenwender“ or “eye turner“ complication. we specilize in rare and unusual Black Forest clocks.
