EARLY FRENCH PENDULETTE CLOCK

For your consideration is a very nice example of the French Pendulette Clock. These are clocks that are seldom found and are really quite nice. This was an idea started some where in the 1800 and were used by a number of companies than and was still used well into the 20^th century. The idea is that the pendulum, the crutch, and the pendulum rod become one. It is easy to put into beat and then there is never a problem of losing the bob or having it separated from the clock. A great idea with some important limits. For all of its problems they do work fine.

This one is a good example it this system and a good recorder of the passage of time. These are typical in a veneer, as is this one, with this one in a black lacquer finish. There are two missing pieces of the veneer on the bottom left side. This is working fine and will be a great addition to your collection or simply fir your desk or dresser clock. It is small and does not take up too much space so it fits easily everywhere.

The Direction on the back says in affect: this is an eight day time piece the sets it’s self into beat. Give it a good shake to get it started. To regulate the time adjust the pendulum ball. Another type of clock not often seen.
