That's a beautiful piece of work, Wagner.

Gorgeous! Very fine workmanship, which is necessary for clock making, which is what I only assume it is somehow used for.
Do you have any photos of how it is used?

Hello guys, thank you.

It is used to adjust the distance between wheel and pinion for a good mesh. Than the pointed scribes underneath are used to mark the position for the bearings on the clock plates.

As soon as I have a pair of wheel and pinion done I will post picture of the tool in use.

Clockspring made a 3 part series on youtube making and using this tool.
Use of the tool is demonstrated in part 3, about 6 minutes in.

Now we need to see some wheels.
