No. 550 CUM 9-inch Comtoise clock with verge escapement, alarm movement, two-part ornamental plate with sun head motif and petite sonnerie ( three-quarter strike ) on only 2 bells. The special feature of this clock is that it does not strike the quarter chime on the two small bells (out of a total of 3 bells) as usual, but on just one small bell and the large bell (2 bells in total). In order to achieve this, a standard lever system for striking and a second lever system were installed, which removes the foot of the hammer axle for the small bell from the engagement of the striking mechanism star, so that only the strike on the large bell ( hour strike ) takes place. An extremely rare version of a petite sonnerie striking mechanism. Enamel dial with floral decoration, sign: Bailly Fils à Dijon, diameter dial: 225 cage dimensions: 252 x 244 x 144 HxWxD / movement dimensions: 390 x 245 x 165 HxWxD, chimney: 40, pendulum length: approx. 1190 (all dimensions in mm)
