I agree. And while I could almost believe that the suspension spring could be in the position shown, I cannot believe that it would have been meant to to broad side forward (instead of fitting edgewise into a slot) as it seems to be in the photo.There is something very strange about that. What should be the escape wheel looks more like a count wheel. I assume the movement does not work - correct? I see a crutch wire, but can't see what it connects to. I don't see a verge. There's also something very strange about the suspension spring position too. I would enjoy seeing a closer pic of the verge area. If this movement works at all, I would say it's pretty rare. If not, I'm inclined to believe it has been redesigned by a jokester.
Actually the movement works perfectlyThere is something very strange about that. What should be the escape wheel looks more like a count wheel. I assume the movement does not work - correct?

And I was in this case...........! A very surprising and unusual movement - I wonder what made the designer come up with it. I have never seen one like it and doubt I ever shall again. It is very ingenious and now I see how it works, I rather like it.We really need more and clearer photos but at the moment, I think someone decided to have some fun...........but I may be wrong, as I always say.
It is a Seth Thomas, but can't find another one or any information on it, that is why I posted here thinking maybe someone just might know something about it. Works fine, but don't even know what type of clock case it went into as I purchased only the movement. Has to be very rare and probably worth more than I paid for it. Hope to get more info on it one day.And I was in this case...........! A very surprising and unusual movement - I wonder what made the designer come up with it.

But it does look extremely odd at first sight.

actually it works very well, I posted a photo and you can enlarge to see how it works. Don't know what type of clock it was originally in but definitely made by Seth Thomas and not a jokester.There is something very strange about that.
