AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

One-month-running Comtoise clock with alarm mechanism. Both the movement and the case are in good condition, and the clock runs as it should. It has an extra rim for both the going train and the striking train, so if hung high enough the clock will run for about a month. The dial is brass and features the horn of plenty with the sun god above. The dial is original with the inscription Lacoste in Fronton. The striking mechanism chimes on the hour, two short strikes for the number of hours indicated by the hour hand. At the half hour, the striking chimes once. Photos are part of the description. The clock comes with a suitable winding key and stand. Due to the total weight of the clock and the heavy weights, I prefer pickup in Bleiswijk, South Holland, Netherlands. If the clock must be shipped, the buyer should contact me so we can arrange the shipment.
