Description from the seller

Rare French mini travel clock, late 19th – early 20th century, height 9 cm, in brass with a white dial and Roman numerals. Mechanical manual-wind movement with the original key. The clock runs perfectly in time. The presence of a striking mechanism or alarm function has not been checked. Inside there is a mark reading “France,” confirming production. On the inner lower flap there is also a signature/engraving of the manufacturer or assembler, currently difficult to read but a feature of particular interest. Complete with its original red leather travel case with hinged opening, a accessory rarely available together with the clock. It retains its original patina and typical signs of aging consistent with its age. Not restored or polished, kept in its authentic condition. An object of great charm, ideal for those who appreciate antique clocks and vintage travel items. From private provenance, it will be carefully packed and shipped by experienced personnel in the field.
