Tiffany TIFFANY DOUBLE CONTACT

[jkfabulos]

Just got this up and going.
Dial is 6 inch diameter. 16 1/2 inches tall.
Bezel and pendulum were gold plated.
Original pendulum out for professional clean up hoping to save the gold plating bezel is perfect. Now with polished pendulum for test purposes shown in the photos.
Case has chalk mark numbers matching movement.
Had the usual problems of dirty contacts, broken wires, wires shorted to ground and case was so dirty you could not see the inlay.

Looks fantastic Jim! You’ve motivated me to try and get mine up and running too. I’ve not had good luck with Tiffany double winds in the past. But they always look good on the shelf, even if not running. Michael

The double contact model makes me envious and then to have it in that case and the condition you have restored it to . . . kudos!

Jim -

A truly beautiful restoration. I have owned a bronze four-glass Tiffany double-contact case for years, but have never found a movement for it - seeing your case has made me wish once again that I could!

Best regards,

Mark
