Lastly for good measure, a carriage clock by LeRoy et Fils. Strikes hour and half hour. Hour repeat on demand. Alarm.
The interesting feature of this clock is the LeRoy patent differential winding mechanism. The large "key" on the bottom of the clock is used for winding. First the key is turned one way to wind the going train then the other to wind the strike. Note also the English lever escapement and the very large glass in the top (usually a sign of the highest quality)
