Good original condition
Remarks:
with few signs of wear. The table clock and barometer set has been very well preserved. Both parts are in their original condition, the clock has an 8-day movement with winding and adjusting device from below, both with the keys included. The current pressure at the location can be set on the barometer so that the aneroid can reliably show the changes. An externally adjustable pointer is attached to read the tendency to the previous day. At the bottom of the barometer, between the words “Barometer” and “Aneroide”, there is the ligated signature from the designer's initial letters.
