A substantial engineer-built weight-driven timepiece movement, unsigned, 20th century With thick plates measuring 11 by 7 inches united by four double-screwed pillars enclosing four wheel train with large diameter greatwheel and barrel incorporating double clicks to the winding ratchet, high pinion counts and anchor escapement with hardened steel pallets; with pendulum suspension spring and bob, pair of substantial pulleys and a crank winding key. The substantial construction of the current lot would suggest that it was probably designed for public use perhaps most likely as a mural timepiece in a bank or similar building or as a turret timepiece.
