Christoph Schoener or Schoenner was born before 1660 in Vienna but later settled in Augsburg. In 1681 he married the widow of watchmaker Rochus Stressler and ran his own business from 1681 on. Schoener worked primarily for very wealthy clients. His monstrance clock and his altar-shaped ceremonial clock, featuring rich silver reliefs, are on display at the Bavarian National Museum in Munich. Schoener was a very prolific maker of repute and many of his works are now owned by national and international museums and private collections. He died in 1709.Both the case and the movement of this clock were fully restored in 2024 by a qualified cabinetmaker and clockmaker respectively.Please note that some countries prohibit the import of objects made of, or containing, materials from endangered species - such as (but not limited to) coral, ivory, tortoiseshell, or rare tropical woods. For customs-related reasons, these objects cannot be shipped outside the EU.We therefore strongly advise you to inform yourself thoroughly about your country’s current customs regulations before placing a bid.
