ANTIQUE #SA964284

Large L Epee Gorge Case Moon Phase Date Work

£3,250    $4,117    €3,922
Hi
 
I have for sale a 1960s French striking and repeating/alarm carriage clock made in France by L Epée with the date dials at the bottom with the moon phase dial also, in the Gorge case so a top-of-the-shop heavy carriage clock for the best collections.
 
This clock has been fully restored and is offered for sale in mint-perfect condition both visually and mechanically I have replaced the springs so will be good for years to come.
 
The Case
 
The case is in solid shiny brass in the Gorge case style and stands 18cm high x 9cm wide with a depth of 9cm it is in perfect condition with mint thick bevelled sides/front/back door and top viewing glass.
 
The case is very shiny and hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.
 
This clock is very heavy at 3.75 kilos so postage will cost a little more sorry.
 
The Dial
 
The dial is in mint condition in white with roman numerals, the face is perfect no cracks or hairlines at all, and the clock also retains its original black moon hands.
 
The clock has three dials at the bottom one for the day and date (in English) and the centre dial for the alarm setting with the fully working lunar moon phase all functions are in perfect working order.
 
The Movement
 
The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours and halves via a blue steel gong to the rear also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, the movement has been serviced and oiled so keeping a great time over the eight days and has the bonus of the original jewelled platform escapement.
 
This clock also has a working alarm function and is fully signed on the rear plate.
 
The original key is still present.
 
This clock was over 6K new so a big saving to be had.
 
Overall a very beautiful quality carriage clock by a quality French maker that looks great on display and contains all of its original features this is quite a rare find these days.
 
I will ship worldwide and pack very carefully.
