The story
French, unsigned, of the kind that travelled in a leather case on trains that no longer run. The bevelled glass is original on all five faces — the giveaway is the faint ripple in the top panel.
Serviced in 2024: mainspring replaced, platform escapement cleaned and adjusted. It runs to within a minute a week, which for a clock of this age is showing off.
