Bulle clock Nº 57561

The clock as delivered. It came without a case and the owner would like it mounted on a round wooden base under a glass dome in a similar fashion to the tall Bulle movements with a 29cm pendulum (Type A). This movement has the slightly shorter 24cm pendulum normally associated with a cased clock. The magnet though is the same length so it should fit OK on the same type base. The only problem will be the height of the dome.

The clock has a few problems though. The two penny piece has been added because the nut has been cut down!!

This is the type “A” clock we will be using as a template for our new frame parts. We’ll need two pillars with decorative washers. These will. be secured from underneath by 6mm screws. The original clock has a slightly deeper base to house the battery . Our new base is solid wood and will house the battery in a short column that will protrude through to the top as was common on the Crystal dome Bulle clocks. The new base will also require a third brass levelling foot.
