    Stunning piece. If I could suggest - a small lazy susan, a camera stand and SLOWLY zooming/panning would be a much appreciated improvement.

      An elevated turntable (like those used by bakers in decorating cakes) could display these music boxes more visibly. I appreciate all you do to show these previous music boxes. Please send me one!

    I mentioned in last video I gave my music box away- it was in my car when I was hit head on and my daughter died in the accident- it was damaged in the accident and I had a terrible time finding someone to repair it. It’s nice to see you are helping to keep these beautiful pieces working.

      @@troyduncan1969 Very unusual for a piece of superb craftsmanship and enameling being anonymous.Most European countries have old,well established hallmarking system,hardly to find an exception. Hallmarking was not intended for us to identify who made silver, but as a proof tax was paid.It is almost unimaginable to manufacture such expensive item with hundreds of precious gems and sell it without paying tax, even if it was privately commissioned. Sometimes hallmarks and makers marks can be in very inconspicuous places, almost hidden. Moreover,does clock mechanism offer any clue who made it ?

I have sold about USD 4 million online so my apologies if I do not recall every aspect of this specific piece. Contrary to you assertion, hallmarks were not always consistent in many European countries especially for small articles. British and Dutch were the best but many others simply used one small hallmark that is easily rubbed off over 100 to 200 years.

    Gosh hold the piece/or the camera still Im getting a headache. Its a beautiful piece but horrible camera work.

    Most likely pink sapphires around the clock bezel. I doubt a piece as fine as this one that had other sapphires imbedded would have such cheap amethysts on it.

    Filming is really erratic and jerky. You need to work at steadying and panning much more slowly.
