AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid "COMTOISE" clock, made with a zone-operated mechanism. Brass/enamel with its original scene casting completely intact, reminiscent of a floral scene.
Approximate 1880 watch, with a signed, intact, and clean dial, showing normal signs of aging.
Original carved hands.
Percussion with hammer on bubble.
Recently cleaned and oiled by an expert watchmaker, it works regularly.
Good cordage. Rizla cleaned with a specific product. Case cleaned and expertly repainted.
Authentic, including hand-molded brass hands.
Movement with perfect escapement. Excellent percussion. Excellent repetition.
It holds the exhaust well.
N.B. The clock is supplied WITHOUT the winding key, WITHOUT weights or pendulum, which in the photos are for illustrative purposes only! We recommend using weights of 3.5 kilograms for winding and 4 for striking.
Restoring this Comtoise took a lot of time and money. Therefore, I prefer a safe and secure shipment!
Measures 27x15 cm and 45 cm in height including the hat.
It weighs 5,200 kg.
N.B. Shipping will be via registered mail with suitable packaging.
The costs also include the materials used for packaging.
Any additional customs fees are the responsibility of the recipient.

Happy bidding.
