4/52 Paillard Tabatiere with unusual movement configuration made for the American market
I've not come across a movement like this before.
Believed to have been made in Switzerland by Paillard specifically for the American Market, hence the patent numbers on the governor vanes and Geneva stop arm.
The spring housing is cast as part of the bedplate and the governor endless is mounted horizontally. Because of the unusual spring housing the drive cog is on the top instead of the bottom and so the winder goes anti-clockwise. The rest is pretty standard.
The box was in very poor shape and required extensive repair.
No tunesheet. Can you help? Scroll down.
