Up for auction is a rare beauty. Designed for and sold in the French market, these clocks rarely make their way to the United States. This clock is not like most of the similar looking clocks on eBay. This clock is a Ferrari, not a Hyundai! (Clock movements don'...t get much nicer than this one.)It is much larger than the 12 inch tall ones, and it's made of wood, not plastic. Also, it has a much better quality movement that chimes on the quarter-hour.It is a 23" tall Neuchatel style, Royale-sized mantel clock in real burled walnut, and gilt in 24 kt. gold. This was a top-shelf clock from the Swiss clock-makes of Zenith in the 1950s and 60s. This clock's movement was built to last hundreds of years, not just a generation. It is in great condition.It has a double escape wheel. There is too much information to write about. You must see it to believe it.Please view it in greater detail and see it run on YouTube at:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN3OkQVDJ9U&feature=youtu.be
