Swiss
chiming mantle clock by E. Gubelin - Details:
The
unique arched beveled glass permits complete viewing
of the twelve jewel going train, platform escapement,
and the Winterhalter and Hofmeier movement that chimes
either Westminster or Whittington progressively at
each quarter hour with the full melody at the hour.
The
rosewood case with cross-banded kingwood inlays is
perfectly proportioned to compliment the glazed arch
panel giving this clock a style of its own. Opening
the engraved brass glazed door allows access to the
recessed silvered dial with roman chapter, three winding
arbors, strike/silent, and a subsidiary dial to choose
the melody.
The dial is signed E. GUBELIN, LUCERNE and
the back plate is engraved Gubelin, Swiss 1.
Having
just been cleaned and serviced, this clock is in good
working order emitting melodious sounds four times
an hour, on demand.
Circa
