A very attractive and small table clock.
The 8 day duration, circular French movement with Anchor Recoil escapement and rack striking the hours and halfs on a coiled steel gong. The timekeeping is adjusted by way of a geared Brocot regulator and seperate key.
Behind a 5'' diameter, bowed enamel dial with a white background and black outer minute dots, Arabic 1/4''s and hour numerals. The upper area bears the retailer''s signature of ''Hampton & Sons Ltd. PALL MALL. EAST S.W.1'' Having blackened steel hands and behind a hinged brass bezel with a bowed and bevelled glass. The Brocot regulation peg protrudes through the dial above the hour numeral 12.
Contained in a good Cuban mahogany ''Lancet'' style case with raised ebony stringing to the front and ebonised edge moulding. The short plinth sits upon 4 brass bun feet.
Dimensions: 13'' high x 8 5/8'' wide x 5 1/2'' deep.
Condition: The movement isw awaiting overhaul but otherwise in good, fully working condition. The enamel
... dial is good with no noticeable damage and the case has been beautifully French polished to a high degree - the photographs do not serve it justice and reflections give the impression that it has blemishes which it does not.
Price: The price is for the clock in overhauled and fully guaranteed condition.
