This clock works but I believe it is missing parts. I am no expert on clocks but this one runs. Is missing one of the hands on the dial. Seems as though it chimes every five min. Movement stamped "S. Marti et Cie Medaille de Bronze" in a circle. Samuel Marti was awarded the Bronze Medal in 1860.Samuel Marti et Cie were well known clock makers in Paris in the mid eighteenth century. In 1860 it's known that their premises were situated at Le Pays de Montbeliard and in 1863 Marti worked with two other well known clock maker's Roux, and Japy Freres in promoting their clock movements. The Medaille de Bronze stamp refers to the period 1867 - 1889 http://youtu.be/o5K68Se29QY Link of actual item.
