Wow I've never been in to alarm clocks, but this one is special. First of all I really like how it has thick brass plates as compared to modern movements. Second, I was surprised to find out it's an 8 day clock. Last but not least is the Geneva stop - this was definitely an expensive clock when it came out! Top of the line.
Seems a tad more complicated than your basic mantel clock. Made an offer on one of these ~1890 with a bi-metal balance behind glass because that looks neat to me. 🙂 I love skeletonized watches and so forth. I'm fascinated by gears and such! So being able to see this move behind the glass is a great thing to me.
Well done! . . . Beautiful service to a beautiful clock. Relieved that the owner found correct glass. I am surprised at the quantity of lantern pinions.
It's nice the owner was able to locate some glass. Also, kind of funny they made some fake jewels back then. I have a "Swiss Fake" pocket watch that is filled with them.
