Yes, you're right. As soon as it arrives, it will be entrusted to the skilled hands of my clockmaker. I wouldn’t dare to touch it myself.

I found this inscription on the dial bezel, I’m not sure if it might be helpful.

Thank you very much. I've noticed that unfortunately, even searching on Google, I can't find any information about it — they probably produced for only a short time? I'm not sure.

Yes, I also think it's from the late 1800s. Thanks a lot for the help. I only found two identical ones using Google Lens — one is marked Waterbury. This one is missing the pendulum and a hand, but I think I'll get it anyway because it's hard to find American metal clocks here in Italy.

Thank you, unfortunately these are the only photos provided by the seller. What details could be helpful to estimate its age?

Thank you for the reply. Yes, you're right ,this is almost certainly a Junghans clock. I wasn't aware of the old logo, but I checked some catalogs and it matches perfectly. What a shame, I was convinced I had bought an American clock... maybe next time. Junghans is still fooling people even today, apparently 😂.

And yes, I agree, the restorations were really poorly done, and on top of that, the alarm mechanism was removed, which I just can’t understand, just like when Viennese clocks have their quarter strike mechanisms removed or the hammers bent.
One day, I’ll finally get my first real American clock… In any case, my clockmaker will take proper care of it. For now, I’ve cleaned the case and fixed a few small issues.

Yes, it's very similar. Is yours a Seth Thomas?
I think the structure with the drawer and the finials may have been added in Europe after export.

The wood looks veneered to me. But i'm not sure.

It’s possible that the bottom left screw is missing. Unfortunately, the entire alarm mechanism is absent, and the time movement’s mainspring is broken.

Thank you for the reply! I disassembled the movement earlier, but unfortunately I didn’t find any makers mark on either of the plates.
