C.1900, Swiss, Minute Repeating Carriage clock, miniature, in nice condition. The silver case is made in one piece with cast in swags and floral decorations (lightly gilded inside). Each side has an inset engine turned panel with dark green fired enamel over, and each panel accented in turn with a fine line of white enamel. This is one of the most attractive case styles we have seen. Note: this is not a watch movement in a small case, but a full clock movement with platform that spans the top plates. The platform is intact and the repeating mechanism is working reliably (actuated by the plunger on the top of the case). One of the gongs has been broken and silver-soldered and sounds a bit dead. The well made Swiss movement is signed "Nocturne", and with the serial No.2311. The porcelain dial is perfect, with red markers at 3-6-9-12, blue markers at the rest and with gold 5 minute numerals around the perimeter. Certain to be of interest to those who like good things in a small package. Height 3.5 inches
