Nr. 310 CUM
9-inch Comtoise clock with verge escapement and lead pear pendulum from around 1810/15. Half-hour and full-hour strike on a bell with repetition of the hour strike – no half-hour strike en passant. Strike triggered by spring pressure. Alarm mechanism. Sun hand. Enamel dial with Roman hour numerals and large Arabic quarter-hour numerals, typical of this period. It was either paired with a cast decorative top (e.g., an eagle or a sun head with a five-pointed star) or with the first embossed decorative plates by Paget, which did not yet have an inner rim for dial mounting and were therefore placed underneath the dial. The top of this first embossed decorative plate created by Paget was copied and mounted here as a cast part.

Case: 252 x 247 x 142 HxWxD
Movement: 380 x 247 x 170 HxWxD
