The body of the case is then square with wonderful mouldings to the top and bottom as well as silk backed fretwork panels to the sides. The base of the case is then shaped with further mouldings as well as four fantastic, round brass feet to each corner.
The dial is then painted and set out in black Roman numerals with a thin ring to the outside marking the minutes. The centre of the dial is then signed by the maker “P Forrester HULL” and has two wonderful, shaped hands. Finally the dial has a domed, protective glass set into a brass bezel.
The movement is then wound from the front and accessed via the back. It ticks away as it should and chimes on the hour via a bell. It comes complete with its regulating pendulum, winding key, and travel nut. The movement also features a “Chime Silent” option which is operated by a small lever to the top of the dial. The movement is of the upmost quality being that it is a double, chain fusee example. Finally the movement, like the dial, is engraved by the maker “P Forrester HULL”.
This fantastic clock is of the upmost quality and would make a fantastic addition to any home or collection!
