a tag on the custom-made base explains the nefarious purpose of this timer, allowing mine detonation after minesweepers have passed. The balance staff is broken, and there is no obvious power source for the train, but still an interesting military horology artifact. Diameter of front brass dial is 3"; ht of dome on base is 8"
