Bulle Nº 776

Bulle clock Nº 776

This unrestored Bulle clock is the earliest serial numbered clock I have acquired.

The movement is of the “Boxed Half Plate” type and originally had a 700 Ohm resistor to compensate for the 650 Ohm coil.

The fork arbour is broken and the pawl assembly missing. I will have to repair the arbour and manufacture the missing parts. Altogether though a lovely early original clock.

See the “Early Bulle Movements” document in the downloads section for more info on these early Bulles.

The column is soldered to the collar which attaches it to the base.
