The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement.  It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent with clean and bright finish and there are no losses. There is some minor wear on the high spots. The dial is also in excellent condition with no chips or scratches. The original glass has some scratching.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
