AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

No reserve price
( Reading the ad carefully clarifies things ).

Beautiful 'COMTOISE' clock, skeleton design, with zone activation. Brass/iron.
Watch dating back to around 1880, with normal signs of aging.
Original carved hands.
Percussions with a hammer on a bubble, half an hour and then every hour with repetition.

Recently cleaned and overhauled by an expert watchmaker, who has brought it back to its former splendor.
Can be considered in excellent condition, therefore operational.
New rigging, replaced at the time of the restoration.
Authentic, including hand-molded brass hands.
Movement with perfect escapement. Excellent percussion.
It is well-timed.
The clock is supplied without a pendulum, weights, and winding key, which in the photo are only demonstrative.
Restoring this rare Comtoise clock required time and money. In this regard, I prefer to carry out a secure and protected shipment!
Size 25 cm by 15 cm and 38 cm in height including the hood.
Weighs a total of 5,200 kg.

The shipment will be made by registered mail with appropriate packaging.
N.B. The costs refer to the total weight and also to the materials used for packaging.
