The mechanism is made of wood and is powered by a roughly hewn rock from the Black Forest. Death stands above them all swinging his scythe. The hand painted and hand carved figures of the rich, the pious, the young, the old, and royalty cannot hide. The clock tells a chilling story of the medieval mindset. At the top of the foliott balance, the grim reaper swings to collect his deathly harvest. The theme suggests that whether you are rich, royalty, a man of the church, young or old, all around the world, death will eventually come to collect you. The clock bears the inscription, Alle sind mein, or "All Are Mine." Underneath the dial are representations of the young and the old, and at the bottom you can see the world. Just above the 12 is the carving of a king, and to his right there is a carved figure of a monk. On the upper left side of the clock there is a rich man with his bags of money wearing a fine suit. The average person of the Seventeenth Century measured time at three intervals: sunrise, high noon, and sunset. The simple design allowed for only one hand indicating the hour. In 1640 the ŇWaaguhrÓ was the first mechanical clock that was affordable to the new middle class in Europe. ![]()
