The brass dial of this lantern-type hanging clock has an oversized hour circle, with Roman hour numerals and markings for the minutes. The alarm hand and disk are missing. The dial is crudely engraved with a fruit basket and the words "le grasa gisors"—which may refer, as has been recently suggested, to a maker or owner named Le Gras in Gisors (Normandy). Above is a front frieze with shield and small putti. The time and chime trains are driven by weights with ropes. The present verge escapement has a balance mechanism, replacing an earlier conversion of the original escapement and balance to a pendulum. The chime regulator is a replacement, but even the original must have been a 12-stroke model. The alarm mechanism has been removed, along with the bell placed on top of the clock. The robust chime hammer remains. The bottom and the brass side-doors that protected the movement and formed the case are missing. The oversized dial is characteristic of the clocks of this type and period.
