[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 1718480, member: 25"]I think I see a keyhole above the 12 for an adjustable Brocot suspension, firsrt seen around 1850 A glimpse of the movement would cofirm this. The dial style and hands argue a last quarter of the 19th Century date. As always it is the backplate of the movement that holds all the clues needed to settle any question, except of course, who the figures are.
