The dial is also brass, mounted with 12 individual enamel cartouches and the original blued steel hands. The glass is convex bevelled.

The French movement is of high quality and has the Barrard and Vignon mark on the movement backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent, it is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in good condition, there are some chips to the number 9 cartouche and some slight chipping to the number 3. There are also a couple of hairlines. 

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
