AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale: An exceptionally well-preserved and authentic Constateur-Drukker No. 3 pigeon clock, manufactured by the renowned Belgian pioneer Achiel Plasschaert (Plasschaert Frères) from Wachtebeke. This mechanical masterpiece bears serial number 45551 and can be dated to the early 1920s, making the clock over 100 years old!
This model is known for its advanced technology of the time. What is special about this particular piece is the rare layout of the dial, equipped with three separate registers for extremely precise recording: a main register for minutes and two sub-dials for hours (Heures) and seconds (Secondes).
Condition of the item:
• Interior: The brass mechanism, including the refined chain drive and carousel, is in remarkably clean and dry condition without heavy corrosion.
• Casing: The robust oak cabinet features beautiful, original dovetail joints.
• Details: The original metal nameplate of Plasschaert Frères on the side is perfectly legible. The original leather/metal handle and the slide lid for the ring insertion on top are also fully intact. The original levers/cords are present.
Specifications:
• Manufacturer: A. Plasschaert (Plasschaert Frères, Wachtebeke, Belgium)
• Model: Constateur-Drukker No. 3 (Breveté S.G.D.G.)
• Serial number: 45551
• Period: circa 1920 - 1925
• Material: Oak and brass
• Dimensions: circa 25 x 23 x 25 cm
Prefer pickup due to weight and fragility of the antique mechanism. Shipping is possible by arrangement and at own risk.
