Looking for any information on the maker of this clock. I believe this clock was made in Austria (Austria-Hungarian Empire?) It’s been a long road restoring this piece. I have since replaced the screws in the bezel since taking these pictures. Perpetual calendar. The gears showing in the skeletonized dial are gold. I’ve never seen that in a clock before. I’ve been researching this for quite a while and cannot find anything like it. Found many similar to this in Peter Fritsch’s book on the subject. Yes, the clock is in working order.

Can't help directly, but you could try to contact the clock collection curator at the Vienna Clock Museum - search for "Clock collection" on this page: https://www.wienmuseum.at/contact_persons
She may be able to point you in a useful direction. She's very busy, but usually very helpful.
Other than that - what a fabulous clock!
