The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully serviced by our clockmaker. The retailer / clockmakers mark is on the movement backplate. 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 very minor wear on the high spots and some occasional marks. The dial is also in very good condition, just some fading to the cartouche numbers and a light scratch on the number 12.

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