Very robust and pristine large anchor escapement Comtoise clock with harp pendulum, and with a movement from the early 1970s, signed; "Louis Badoz au Puy" Bell strike on the full hour, with repetition, and half-hourly strike. This clock also has a cord for making the clock strike in between these times. The original production area is Franche-Comté (Jura), France. This is how the name "Comtoise" came to be. The starting period was around 1700, with the city of Morbier as the centre. There are almost no clocks left from this period. The last development of the Morbier Comtoise is the so-called "flower comtoise", which was introduced around 1880, in combination with the anchor escapement. The "feuille" (front plate) is a rectangle with pictures of a hunting scene. Enamel dial. Measurements of feuille: Height 48 cm. Width 27.5 cm. Measurements of clock case Height 31 cm Width 27 cm Depth 14 cm Weight 7.2 kg Harp pendulum 104 cm. Lens diameter 28 cm. Weight 2.0 kg. dial 24 cm, diameter Both weights 3.8 kg. Including winding key. condition: has been serviced, with new cords, pull cord for intermediate time indication, a comtoise that works very well. The shipping costs for Luxembourg are the same as for the Netherlands. Because of the sensitivity and size of the movement and pendulum, I recommend that the lot be picked up in the region of Oudenaarde, Belgium, or at least to consult over possible delivery.
