Verge escapement. One lead weight for both the going and striking train. Bell with square sholders. Case with fine angravement on all surfaces. The movements stands on its original stool and under a neatly-fitting and nicely decorated hood. Dimensions of the wooden case are 34x13x13cm. Total weight, including weights, 4.4 kg. All parts are original. In good running condition. This lot can be sent by registered mail, or collected in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
