    A wonderful example from the Mystery Clocks series. A feeling arouses that the numbers and the hand are hanging in the air and the clock shows time by itself due to a thin transparent dial. The musical movement is fixed in the case. Three keyholes are in the clock rear side. The key is in the set.
