Description
Condition: as good as it gets; we have never seen a case as intricate as this, still in such fine condition. One opening above the dial shows the 12 Terrestrial branches, engraved on a wheel behind the dial plate and appearing one at a time. The other aperture shows the 10 Celestial Stems, similarly engraved and showing one at a time. The time scale rotates and is read at top center against a fixed hand; as with most bracket clocks, the numerals may be moved in their track for the varying length of daylight. Ht of movement = 5.5" [14cm] ht of case = 8.75" [22.3cm]
