The case has the original (domed) glass, with a brass frame. The pendulum is also made of brass. The key of the watch is the original one. The mechanism (serial - 4793) inscribed "F-que Horloges Monumentales | J.G.Baer | Sumiswald (Suisse)" with the dimensions 120x68x65 mm (HxWxD), is type Anchor escapement. In horology, the anchor escapement is a type of escapement used in pendulum clocks. The escapement is a mechanism in a mechanical clock that maintains the swing of the pendulum by giving it a small push each swing, and allows the clock's wheels to advance a fixed amount with each swing, moving the clock's hands forward. The anchor escapement was so named because one of its principal parts is shaped vaguely like a ship's anchor. A video recording with the clock in function mode is available on request.200 €200 € -
