Description

le cadran supérieur indiquant les phases de la lune, le cadran inférieur les heures, les jours et les mois, reposant sur quatre montants terminés par des griffons, sur une base en marbre noir

Condition

Main dial with minor hair cracks to the edge between VI and VII, otherwise very good, moon dial has minor hair crack between 10 and 15 but otherwise good. Movement is complete and would run at cataloguing but would benefit from a clean and fresh oil, the hammer return spring is a poor replacement and could be much improved. The marble base has some edge chips but otherwise generally good. With pendulum but no winder.
