Iron Tower clock restoration

It’s about the restoration and partly rebuilding of a 216 year old iron tower clock, a fully mechanical wheel clock.It was originally located in the municipality of Bezau in the Bregenz Forest. The church was completely rebuilt and enlarged, the clock mechanism was replaced.
I bought the clock 1985 in a rusted, poor condition. Some parts were missing. In 1904 the tower clock was already restored once before and the escapement was rebuilt respectively modernized.
I rebuild it to the original conditions and replaced the Graham escapement from 1904 with the classical returning escapement
