  24. Your clock was made by MARPA a French clock company, there is little info available on this company, their trademark was a leaping Gazelle, the name appears on their marble and alabaster clock faces a...
  25. The year of manufacturing is stamped on the movement, you have to remove the hands, the alarm ring and the dial, the year is located near the clock stem.
  26. On these two abor clocks, facing you the abor (winding stem) on the right winds the time, the one on the left winds the strike. You can not stop the alarm mechanism, so wind it half or a third of ...

  46. pw-collector, good luck Dave.
  47. Is it the 2 inch or the 5, I have a copper one, and an Ivory one both with boxes and tags. I also have a blue 2 inch one without the box.
  48. Great clock/watch, I have been on the lookout for one of these.
  49. The Arlington is my favorite also. jscotto363.
  50. More than likely the pendulum needs to be adjusted. It is suspended through a kruch that causes the the escapement to advance when the pudendum swings back and forth. https://www.youtube.com/watch...
