THICK glass, ORIGINAL windows, in front of the clock, of which the upper one shows you the dial and the lower one shows you the pendulum swinging.The lower crystal is also BEVELED, making it have a very luxurious appearance!Both windows are in an AMAZING Condition.The dial has a SECOND HAND, which is of added value.The dial has a SILVER FINISH in a SUPER Condition as well.The OAK wooden case is fully intact and has NO mentionable issues.The cosmetic balance is established by spreading the material with their coulours (Brass / Glass / Wood) over all parts this time-piece..The hands come in black and are simple shaped.The dial shows the time in Arabic numbers, which come in black.The wood looks fantastic and has a semi gloss finish, giving this piece a distinguished appearance.Aside from the beauty, this clock works excellent and has an excellent functioning movement, running AT LEAST one year on a battery.The dial is marked with the aTo MARK.The movement is in a TOP condition and is fully serviced!!This clock passed time almost without cosmetic issues.Overall this object is in a GORGEOUS, RESTORED condition but not new.Mentionable is a hairline in the wood on the roof, which is ONLY a cosmetic flaw (see photo 9).At the left, lower corner, in front, there is a VERY SMALL imperfection of the wood, visible on photo 1. 3, 5 and 7.The overal cosmetic condition is AMAZING, considering the age of the clock, of over 100 years old.This clock has A NEW Battery compartment and all wiring has been renewed, to avoid any leaking currents, resulting in a MAXIMUM amplitude of the pendulum, identical to when the clock was sold initially, in the 1920s.Of course, a NEW battery is included, a VARTA one, the BEST there is.Replacement batteries are available at any supermarket or hardware store, or online.Please judge the quality by taking a good look at all the photos and the YouTube videos, mentioned at the top of this listing.Note that, because of the shining surface of this clock, as well as the zoomed photo's and the use of flash, even a fingerprint looks bad.FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING!If you have any questions please feel free to email me.Dimensions:Height: 19.9 Inch -> 50.5 cmWidth: 10.7 Inch -> 27.3 cmDepth: 5.3 Inch -> 13.5 cmWeight: 3747 (!) grams including the Battery.This clock (and all other items that I list) will be packed secure and carefully, with attention to detail, avoiding any damage during shipment!For comments about my packing skills, please check the review page.The pendulum of this clock will be secured by foam to ensure safe transporting.Combined shipping is possible!
