Due to its size and the complexity of its individual components, the present clock is a technical and artistic masterpiece in porcelain. This extremely labour-intensive and expensive clock has been exhibited several times by the manufactory as a magnificent showpiece.
In 1888, a model of the clock was shown at the German National Arts and Crafts Exhibition in Munich, p. 243.
1893: a historical photograph of the sales rooms of the KPM store, p. 243.
1908: historical photograph with the pendulum hanging from the mouth of the faun’s face.
In 1904, the clock case with movement was shown at the World’s Fair in St. Louis. There are only three known designs of this large-sized clock case.
