This clock is housed in a well made brass case with a heavy brass bezel and beveled glass. The French movement is of exceptional quality, with full size pivoted lever off a regular size escape wheel, the balance mounted alone on the rear platform, the unusual lever extending through the rear plate to access the balance roller. The porcelain dial is perfect with original hands. With the case polished this would look wonderful on your yacht or hanging near a door. Height 6 1/2"
