Fine, large and probably unique Swiss week going silvered brass verge and fusee grande sonnerie
bell repeating clockwatch by Hans Rudolf Berner, Unterklum, circa 1810.
White enamel dial (edge and center repairs) with black markings and blued steel hands.
Plain pierced case with bell mounted in the back. Unusual movement with polished steel cock.
Strike/Silent lever at the edge of the dial. Occasionally requires a shake to resume ticking.
With the selection lever in the strike position this watch automatically chimes the
hours and quarters every 15 minutes. This means that 1:15 has a different chime than
2:15. When the repeat is activated the watch chimes the hours and quarters on demand.
