The movement not only runs the time only clock, but the mouth and eyes move. One day movement is running and animation is functioning. Dial signed Junghans, back of the case signed Germany. Metal case is 9-1/2 inches high and retains most of the original finish. The reason the monkeyÕs jaw is moving is because he is reading from the Bible. The page reads, "Genesis—and after God made man after his own likeness—". The monkey is bronze spelter; the back is metal, painted black.
