Thanks Nugu. Here's my next restoration project, but it will likely be sent off to be professionally done instead.

This is a 4-sided clock / 'weather station' with a clock, thermometer, hygrometer, and barometer. This sat for decades on my dad's dresser, and knowing my propensity for taking things apart when I was younger, Dad was VERY protective of it over the years!

At some point, though, the clock gave out and he had it taken to a clock shop, and the clock worker (I won't call them an horologist, given what they did) replaced the Bucherer clock movement with a cheap quartz clock! In the years since, the battery cover and one of the finial screws have been lost, and the clock hasn't been used in years.

Before I can begin the search for a competent horologist, I need to find a similar Bucherer / Imhof movement and one of the finial knobs, and given the quality of these movements, it AIN'T going to be cheap. :-P

(the meter in the background is the latest addition to my collection - had just finished a quick cleanup, but it still needs the correct style cover before it goes into storage)
