We are delighted to be able to present another work by Johann Jacob Möllinger (1695-1763), court clockmaker to the Elector Palatine from Neustadt. His masterfully crafted works were held in high esteem and it was not without reason that he was appointed court clockmaker to the Palatine Electors Carl Philipp and Carl Theodor. In addition to large tower clocks, he also produced complicated movements for grandfather clocks with musical movements and carillons. A master of his time that is still valid today.
