Bulle Nº 51540

This Bulle frame and movement is shown as delivered. It is obviously from a small enclosed wood case. The aluminium frame acts as a dial support, movement frame and magnet support. At first glance everything looks to be in reasonable order with just the usual knocks and dinks expected from a clock of this age. Note that the pendulum coil is covered in green ribbon and was never intended to be on show. This was purely a functional timepiece and not in any way decorative.

The arm itself has a slight bend which we will need to correct.

There is a problem here though. The screw shown (1) is completely wrong. It should be a small threaded stud with an insulating stepped washer which in this case is a piece of green plastic(2). The screw is much too large and has been forced into the aluminium casting (3).
