Description from the seller
Watch the movement of the figures.
French watchmaking
Brisondevilard in ANGOULEME (a city in France)
Pinwheel clock with quarter repeater and Jacquemart figure automaton.
Watch in a solid silver case - at least 0.800 (stamped on the case back).
Smooth back cover - internal 12758 stamping
Elegant white enamel dial ring with Arabic numerals - outer running minute track. Delicate finely crafted original hands with a ring - gold-colored.
Interior view of the work. Artistically detailed figures in silver. Woman with a bow on the left and man with a bow on the right — both in tribal clothing — above, the double bell in silver. Over the six, a campfire.
Elevator at the back - elevator key and simultaneously a key for setting the time on the dial, which has a middle square shape.
Spring lid made of metal. Lid opener on the right below the pendant, described as Brisondevilard at ANGOULEME - work elevator to the left!
Watch with spindle wheel day runner - classic fire-gilded version with round spindle clamps. Speed setting wheel in silver. Signed Brisondevilard à ANGOULEME.
Work and repetition are functioning.
As a collector's item, there is no control over accuracy and running duration.
Quarter-repetition mechanism with pedal activation. The hours and quarter-hours are struck with a double strike, with the two figures moving alternately and striking the bells located below the 12 with a hammer. The figures give the impression that this movement is responsible for the sound. The sound of the striking mechanism is more beautiful and appealing.
Housing shutter switch.
Side alignment
Watch diameter 58mm - height with pendant 81mm - weighs 165.7g.
Fine automatic watch.
