The heavy case is made of uprights and panels, with light accent carving on the front. Uses a typical iron cased Morbier movement, that repeats the hour at 2 minutes past; clean and running. The dial is good. Note the case was originally 2 piece as the one above, and has been anchored together at the throat, and with a cross piece at the rear; could be easily undone if it suits you, or leave as is. The pendulum is a modern replacement. The dial surround is a bit large for the opening, but fits ok once you are past the mask. Height 84 inches
