Description
Waterbury Clock Co. “Calais”, ca. 1915. A crystal regulator in a satinwood case with an 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement. The case is just 10.5-inches tall with a clean finish and beveled glasses in the front and back brass doors. The signed dial is porcelain with a visible escapement and one metal and one ruby pallet. The hands are unusual and as shown in the catalog illustration (Ly, Waterbury Clocks & Watches, page 141). It doesn’t want to run and will likely need service; it will strike on a standing cathedral gong. There is a two-jar false mercury pendulum, and a label on the bottom of the clock.
