LECOULTRE & CIE Vintage Atmos 528-8 Swiss Perpetual Motion Clock (Pickup Only)
$299.99
1 in stock
This gold-plated brass, late 20th century (1960–1980) clock is a fine heirloom piece. It works on perpetual motion via the pendulum wheel at the bottom and must be on a level surface to function (has a built-in bubble level).
To access the inside speed-regulating lever and hands to set the time, the front plate of glass must be removed by pushing its top edge downward from the top into the spring base, then releasing and removing. (Note: The small rectangular handle to push the glass down is missing, but you can still carefully do it by gently using a screwdriver covered with cloth to protect the edge of the glass.)
Professional cleaning and servicing recommended.
