Bulle Nº 7894

This Bulle is of the tall A type movement and frame but in a four glass case. The serial number 7894 puts it with the first two years of production.

The first impression is that it is a complete and tidy clock but there are some issues with it one of which is going to be difficult to sort out.

The dial is of the alloy insert type and is is good condition with no large marks. The hands are slightly unusual in that a clock of this age would normally have moon hands.

The woodwork of the top and bottom are pretty good and will only need a good waxing with maybe a bit of colour to revive the existing patina. The cord around the coil though is a different matter. On closer inspection it was found to be as dry as parchment and flaky when touched. So, unfortunately this will need to be replaced as it won’t stand up to being handled in any way. The back has already been glued down with some form of superglue.
