Hi
I have for sale a 1880s French striking and repeating five minute repeating carriage clock made in France.
The Case
The case is in solid shiny gilded brass and stands 18cm high x 9cm wide with a depth of 8cm it is in original condition with a thick 5mm bevelled front/back door and top viewing glass again all in mint condition.
The case is very shiny and hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.
At the of the case is a button for repeat and one on the back for 5 minute repeating.
The Dial
The dial is in mint original condition in white porcelain with Roman numerals; the clock also retains its original very fine gilt spade hands.
At the bottom is another blue dial for the alarm again in mint condition.
The Movement
The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours, quarters and halves, also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, and one on the back for five minute repeating, the movement has b
...een fully restored, and running and striking 100% correctly.
The clock also contains Genre stop work to stop over winding a top-quality feature only found on top-end clocks.
The photos do not do justice to this lovely old clock.
I will Ship Worldwide.
