that automatically repeats the strike at 2 minutes after the hour. Most of these are in a state of distress, but this is an exceptional example with virtually all of the mother of pearl intact (minor losses), and almost all of the corrugated tin trim in place as well. The white enamel dial is also very good with only minor losses, the dial signed Petiot Guichard, a Louhans. Striking on a large coiled wire gong. Height 25"
