Now here we are, it's striking, it's striking the hour. It's striking 11 o'clock and if we turn the clock around you can actually see the countwheel. And here's the hour striking and you can see the lever dropping in on the centre line of the countwheel and see the mechanism from the inside just tripping the countwheel again. And this is the quarter striking. There are no clocks of this age, which I have even seen in in museums, so that I can understand Peter's wish to add it to his collection and the pride that I have in keeping it in my collection.
