The cannelee case on this clock has some fine oxidation, but the beveled glass is all perfect. Porcelain dial is perfect as well (signed Henry Capt, Geneve). The movement is signed with Drocourt's D'C trademark in an oval (little carriage clock in center), and with serial number 10020. This case was polished to brass and lacquered around 20 years ago and oxidation occurred where the lacquer was thin. Overall it is an excellent example of Drocourts work and the best that Henry Capt had to offer in Geneva. Original platform intact. Height 6.5Ó $1,000-$1,500
