AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique French Japy Frères mechanical alarm clock, dating approximately from 1900–1910.
The clock has a round metal case with a silver-tone finish, brass decorations and feet, a large bell on top, and an elegant ornamental handle.
The white dial features Roman numerals, black hands, and a small auxiliary dial for setting the alarm. The glass and dial are intact and free of cracks.
The hand-wound mechanical movement bears the distinctive engraved Japy Frères mark. The back features the original inscriptions “Réveil Perfectionné” and “Déposé Breveté,” along with instructions for setting the clock and alarm.
The clock has been tested and is in working order. On a full wind, it runs for approximately 24 to 32 hours. The alarm and bell also work correctly.
The winding keys are built into the mechanism on the back, so no separate key is needed. The back cover is present.
It shows normal signs of age and use, including oxidation, scratches, and partial loss of the surface finish, clearly visible in the photographs.

Height: 20 cm
