The photos are not retouched: the object is prettier in real life than in the photos, no bad surprises, it is a choice on the part of our workshop. All the work carried out on this clock is carried out in compliance with the ethical rules for the restoration of watchmaking objects. i.e. without modification or embellishment of the timepiece and using mineral or high-end synthetic oils and greases (Moebius, etc.) for lubrication Restoration of this clock (complete disassembly piece by piece of the movement and of the cage) has just been carried out in an Art Watchmaking workshop (www.horloger-chastant.fr) Its operation is guaranteed (time, chime).
PRECAUTIONS AND ADVICE: it is advisable to handle the clock with cotton gloves to avoid the oxidation of the golden brass by the sweat of the fingers (if fingerprints must be applied immediately without waiting to pass a soft cloth without product), respect the direction of the arrows for setting the time and for setting the alarm clock). It should not be exposed near a heat source (fireplace in operation, radiators, halogen spotlights, sunlight) There is no work to be done on this beautiful clock.
The next revision should be done in 5 to 10 years maximum (aging of the oils, which oxidize, causing wear on the pivot points) all reasonable purchase proposals will be examined and will receive a response. Keep in mind the work done and the rarity of this clock
