Church Tower Clock from Breisach

This tower clock was built by Aloysius Fezler of Old Breisach in 1775. It was used in the church at Merdingen until 1935. After that, it became part of the clock collec-tion in Furtwangen. The clock stands out because of its antique verge escapement, which, in most tower clocks, had long since been replaced with an anchor escapement. The clock-maker struck his name and the date onto the crown wheel.
