with apertures for digital reading of the minutes, hours, day, date and month, and engraved with the makers name as shown above. This clock has a massive and well made movement, driven by 2 large weights (required to advance the heavy roller system), and with dead beat escapement, plus a zinc and steel temperature compensated pendulum, the weights descending down the sides over rollers. The well constructed mahogany veneer case with glass to front and both sides. A similar clock by this maker, but floor model, sold in the Sotheby's Meraux sale, June 28, 1993, lot 414 for 4600 dollars. Height 61 inches
