Following the classic Maëlzel pyramid form, it beautifully combines traditional design with reliable German engineering. The front door features Wittner's iconic silver-and-black diamond emblem depicting a tuning fork logo. The wind-up mechanical movement delivers a steady, consistent tempo without the need for batteries; simply turn the winding key and let the rhythm begin. Finished in a rich natural wood grain, it functions equally well as a dependable studio tool and a timeless decorative object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition:\u003cbr\u003eThis metronome is in good cosmetic condition, showing minor age-appropriate wear and light marks on the wooden casing. Please review the photos carefully for details. The wind-up mechanism and pendulum movement are fully functional. When tested at 208 BPM, a single full winding lasts approximately 20 minutes (equivalent to roughly 69 minutes at 60 BPM, or over 4,100 beats). Basic cleaning has been completed, and a thin protective layer of wax has been applied to nourish and preserve the wood finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisclaimer:\u003cbr\u003eWhen compared to modern electronic metronomes, it is not laboratory-precise, but it keeps time very closely and operates as expected for a vintage mechanical instrument. Minor variation is normal and part of the character of traditional wind-up metronomes. Noticeable defects are shown in the listing images. Please note that this is a vintage item, and minor signs of age or use may remain despite careful inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcessing:\u003cbr\u003eShips within 1–2 business days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstimated delivery:\u003cbr\u003eEurope: 1–7 business days\u003cbr\u003eUS\/Canada: 2-4 business days\u003cbr\u003eRest of world: 3–7 business days\u003cbr\u003e(Customs and import duties are the buyer’s responsibility.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Customs Notice\u003cbr\u003eWe do our best to provide accurate shipping estimates.
