Description

A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most sought after clocks available.

This clock is in pristine, original condition in every respect.

Made by the World renowned maker GUSTAV BECKER , the movement being fully marked with his logo.

Grande Sonnerie clocks are often referred to as "blind man's clocks" as it is possible to tell the time by the strikes without seeing the clock.

The 8 day movement strikes on the quarters, striking the quarter on one gong followed by the hour on another.

It has just been fully overhauled by our BHI registered staff.

The 7" enamelled dial is marked with Black Roman numerals with Fleur-de-lis spacers and a patterned centre that matches the weights and pendulum.

The three weights and the pendulum are all beautifully engraved and in pristine condition.

The case retains it's original French-polished finish and has a superb aged patina.
