Yes viewing is fine. I don't have a massive amount of space but if you let me know which clocks you are interested in I will make sure they are set up and can be seen working. Please use the contact details to arrange this.

A difficult question! these clocks have gone up and down in value over many (hundreds) of years and will probably continue to do so. At the moment values are significantly less than they were 20 years ago so could be a good time to buy. In my experience it is better to invest in rarer clock types (moons/ tidal/ musical/ lacquer) as these are more sought after and always command higher prices.

Yes, I would say so. It is important to keep the pivots oiled to prevent accelerated wear, I always do this as part of the service and then recommended every 5 years. Musical clocks benefit from more regular maintenance as they have more complicated movements. The cases are normally pretty durable, often with 'French-polish' (shellac) type finishes.
