[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 86977, member: 25"]I can see sod all in the last picture, as it is way out of focus and opening the door would have been a good idea. The auto focus has picked on the top edge of the door to focus on. However , if it mentions a jewel count, it is certainly mid to later 20th C, as the type of platform escapement confirms. These timepieces (a clock is defined as a timekeeper that strikes the hours) have been made in France for about the last 150 years to the same design with trivial improvements to the escapement. If it actually says 'Made in England' it was probably assembled French parts. Does it actually say that, or are you going by the retailer's name?[/QUOTE]
