Description

A very rare French giant gilt brass eight day five-glass table regulator signed by Fernand François 1901.

The substantial gilt-brass gorge type case with bevelled glass panels to top and all sides, the substantial back plate signed Fernand Francois Eléveal Ecoled Horlogie de Paris 1901.

The frosted gilt movement with shallow-arch top rectangular plates united by four double screwed polished steel pillars enclosing a five wheel train with external deadbeat escapement planted on the front plate regulated by a substantial ‘gridiron’ compensated gilt disc-bob pendulum incorporating fine beat adjustment to crutch. The six inch circular silvered roman dial with open centre revealing the escapement, winding click ratchet and motionwork.

The clock’s understated elegance and extremely high quality meticulous movement would suggest it was made for exhibition, possibly as the makers qualification piece on becoming a master horologist.
