Footnotes
- This clock was originally hand wound, but I later converted it to automatic winding. It is at present fitted with the deadbeat escapement but a grasshopper escapement is also available. It is offered with all the hand wound pieces and grasshopper escapement together with the movement stand and the extension carrying the dial.
