Comtoise Clock Verge Louis XVI Movement Antique French Working & Complete

  
Late 18c - Early 19c French Comtoise C lock. Complete with a cockerel to the top. Beautiful brass decoration and a rare item. Pendulum folds down to a small pile. The screw that holds the hands in place, also the one that secures the bell may have been added at a later stage. The enamel dial is in great condition. The bell strikes on the hour, and repeats again around 2 mins after the hour and once on the half hour.

The bell strike works, but he does seem to fail to hit the bell one or two times fully when he is on a long strike. Maybe a small correction, service or clean is required, see movie footage via the link below. This clock repeats the strike at 2 mins over the hour. This clock is with side door panels showing the beautiful antique brass movement, they are both removable and just fix back to the case. This is a big and heavy clock with weights at 18 - 20 kg when packed.
