The case bezel has been refinished. The backboard has two newer piece on either side that have been carefully glued to the older pieces. The square French movement is signed "B.M. & C." on the front plate. The serial number on the movement is the same as the on stamped in the pendulum ball. Brocot escapement located between the plates does escape. The backboard has three holes where the movement was once mounted. Steel door hinges seem a bit out of place. The large convex glass is in very good condition, remounted with small nails and cork at some point. The back-painted glass dial is very good.
