Here we have something a little different as I do not believe you will see another clock quite like this! Retailed by Klaftenberger of Regent Street London made for him by Henri Jacot. This was most likely a special commission, Half hour sonnerie is silent on the quarter past and quarter too, but strikes the half hour with full grande sonnerie so there is no confusion at 12.30, 1 and 1.30, ingenious! If you depress the repeat button you get the full grande sonnerie on each quarter as expected. The clock strikes on two small bells The gilding is very good. The glass is all original. The movement has been fully overhauled and with the addition of alarm function The movement has a number stamp of .... The inside plate has the usual oval stamp of Jacot with the 1862 Medailles (see photos) for the London and Paris expositions which he was awarded the Bronze Medal. We would date this clock to around 1860-70.
