although the rear pendulum support and crutch are replaced, the movement is overall very high quality and strikes and repeats accurately. Note quarter hours are petite only, no hours given, however the pull repeat gives you both the quarters and hours, on a pair of bells above the movement. The porcelain dial is perfect and the gilt hands original. This movement was likely in a mid 19C Neuchatel case. Week duration. Note skeletonized hour snail and finely detailed quarter hour snail The classis Empire style of the case is severe but attractive. Ht 20"
