The August 2002 Chapter 168 meeting special topic was figural clocks, those with people on the dials, pendulums or anywhere else. This one has figures on the pendulum This diamond dial Schatz has the extra maintaining power wheel and the holey dome with man and women figures on the dial going around a Maypole perhaps
This is a muliticoloured picture dial Schatz 49, featuring a traveller and his dog chatting up a lady, seated This Kern has a floral dial but 4 ball (figural) pendulum.
This Schatz 49 has a round figural dial with a pompadour courting scene in a garden This is another kern but with a disk pendulum supporting the figurines which spin out when making adjustments
Similar to the one above with a different colour scheme which may mave been altered. This is a 3 ball miniature Schatz 53 (dated 3 54)with the a dog in the courting scene similar picture to the multicoloured dial Schatz 49
This Kundo Depicts an indoor scene with a fiddler playing to a lady. Ready for restoration Another colourful outside courting scene - a common theme it seems, maybe these should be called courting, not anniversary clocks!
Same figurines on the "4 ball type of arrangement, differently painted. The one on the left has the narrow 1.77'plates Here's the disk type with porcelain ladies in long dresses
Floral but not figural miniature The group of figural clocks brought along for display
Other clocks brought along for discussion of whether the pendulums and bases are correct Rear view of these Badisches
A Solar (on the dial) FHS plate 1104 miniature clock not seen before in Australia (bought in Canada) The plates are tapered with the FHS clock logo and Germany markings. As you can see these meetings are full of variety and fun discussions
