Case, Mechanism & Chime
The mahogany case incorporates a moulded brass bezel, a pendulum access door on the underside, and a mechanism-viewing door on the left-hand side, so you can watch the movement while it runs. Because our restorers have cleaned and French-polished the mahogany case by hand, the timber's grain now shows its original colour and patination. On the back of the clock, meanwhile, sits a bracket for wall mounting.
Chime On/Off Function
The clock chimes once on the half hour, and it also strikes the full number of hours on the hour. Additionally, the left-hand hole in the dial winds the clock movement, while the right-hand hole winds the chiming movement. As a result, you can choose whether to enable or disable the chime, so you decide when you hear it.
The movement has been restored, so it now runs in good mechanical order and keeps reliable time. You can adjust the pendulum's length by opening the door beneath the case, and this lets you regulate the clock's speed. The clock also comes with a winding key, which winds the mechanism through the centre of the dial.
Dial, Bezel & Hands
The dial itself is an ivory-colour tin dial with black Roman numerals, and it pairs with an elegant, shaped hour and minute hand. A hinged, solid-brass bezel houses the glass that protects the dial while the clock is in use, and it opens on a right-hand hinge so that you can adjust or set the time. Furthermore, a catch on the back of the case locks the bezel in place, which stops it from swinging open by accident.
This clock shows nominal old-use marks to the case and tin dial, but nothing significant given the item's age (see photos). At some point in the past, someone replaced the painted tin dial. The brass-hinged bezel works well, although it has some movement in the hinge. The bezel-locking latch is present and working, and it prevents the bezel from opening. Overall, the mahogany case remains in very good condition, and we have cleaned and French-polished it by hand. Similarly, the clock has been cleaned and mechanism serviced, so it now works well and keeps good time.
