DESCRIPTION:
Morbier modern reproduction 8 day, time and strike wag-on-wall clock, c1990
CONDITION:
This is an interesting interpretation of the venerable French Morbier wall clocks. The ornate thin pressed-brass dial ring is authentic, as is the black-boxed movement behind it, but the bright brass dial, brass weights and gridiron pendulum remind us more of new Howard Miller grandfather clocks. The German Hermle 3-train movement has been cleverly modified into a two-train striker on three gong rods, and it may need service after nearly 20 years. There are a few scratches and dents on the weights and pendulum bob. Ht of dial surround is 19".
