Large French Style 8 Day Brass Automaton Locomotive Industrial Train Clock

Large French Style 8 Day Brass Automaton Locomotive Industrial Train Clock

Here we have a wonderful example of the industrial series popular in French horology. When the animation movement is wound the train’s wheels and linkages spin, triggered by the hourly striking. The gilt and painted bronze case is in the form of a steam locomotive. The engineer’s cab houses the clock while the boiler has the barometer and supports the smokestack with the attached thermometer. Below are the six animated wheels with numerous steel linkages and to the front is the cow catcher. The whole sits upon a black marble base with gilt-bronze feet and rails. The white porcelain chapter ring clock dial has black Arabic numbers for the hours, a gilt bronze center and steel-cut hands. The barometer has a porcelain dial as well. Temperature shows on a porcelain thermometer scale. This clock has an 8 day movement with hourly striking and a separate wind up mechanism for the locomotive. This complete clock measures 18" tall and 19" wide. This clock is in good working order. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

All winding clocks come with their key.
