French Style Great wheel skeleton clock
(Item: 022)

French Great Wheel clock, made by Norman Langmead

The 6 1/2 inch great wheel has a chain driven fusee. A high tooth count train enables the clock to have only three wheels and run eight days.
-8 day Fusee movement with only three gears
-Sunburst pendulum bob
-Casted eagle keeps watch over the dail
-Two casted griffons keep gaurd over the winding arbor
-Wonderfull hand blown glass dome is in perfect shape
-The fired porcelian dial has easy to read numbers

Perfect hand blown glass dome and solid wood base add to the elegance of the finely made movement


Note the very small pallets embacing a 90 tooth escape wheel


The casted eagle and griffons add contenuity to the front of the clock


The whole clock has a very slim and elegant look about it


Casted griffons make sure you know where to wind the clock at


Guilded brass sunburst bob
