Mechanical clock

Description:

The old mechanical movement for a tower clock, made by the artisan company Scibetta of Bisaquino, has carried out its fundamental role until about 1980. It was placed inside the civic tower located in the centre of Gratteri and was replaced with a modern electric clock movement. The old hand-wound movement, although potentially still working, needed for the daily presence of a particular personnel who could charge it. The same is described and quoted on the presentation put inside the website of the museum of the clock set up in Bisaquino thanks to the donations made by the artisan company Scibetta, which made the work.
