Bulle clock Nº 313749

It is not clear whether this Bulle clockette was made under licence by Tempex or whether the parts were shipped from France and assembled in the UK. The dial and base are stamped with the name Tempex and so were probably sourced in the UK whilst the rest of the clock is standard Bulle.

First impressions are that it is in pretty good order, especially the dial, chromium plating and bakelite. But as we have learnt, first impressions don’t count for much in the clock restoration world.

This clock has three major faults and a couple of minor ones. As delivered it was not working which proved to be the fault of one major problem and one minor.
