This clock has a marine Lever Balance staff 8 day movement that winds from the back and all of this clock is 100% Original and un restored. Perfect for the fussy collector like myself, who likes them all original even the finish. The thermometer works perfectly and the barometer does as well. it needs a slight adjustment and the pointer needs adjusting. A very minor point but I mention everything.
