This is a Seth Thomas, spring-driven, 8 day, pendulum wall clock with quarter hour Westminster chimes and hourly strike. My grandfather bought this new some time around 1920. For a wall clock, this clock is rather large - about 33 inches, and somewhat heavy, maybe 20-25 pounds.

Westminster chimes and hourly strikes are recorded without ticking. (The pendulum was stopped.) The ticking is recorded separately

The microphone is a single Josephson C617 with a Microtech-Gefell MK221 capsule. The mic was placed very close: slightly inside the case, in front of the pendulum, aimed up at the clockwork. So there is detailed mechanical sound of the clock. The recorder is a Sound Devices MixPre-6. The only post processing is a FIR high-pass filter at 188 Hz to take out some room rumble.
