The good quality weight driven German made movement has a Dead-beat escapement, maintaining power and beat adjustment. The quarter chiming mechanism has a tune selector to the arch of the dial and can be set to play Westminster, St. Michael or Whittington chimes on Tubular bells. There are also chime and strike silent levers to the nine & three O`clock positions. These levers allow the mechanism to quarter chime only with no hour strike, or Hour strike only with no quarter chime. But of course full quarter and hour strike can be played together if the lever are set to the appropriate positions, or no chime or strike at all. The movement has been fully serviced and is in fine working order. The dial is in good condition with the original gilding & silvering, and is signed with the retailers name J. W .Benson London. The dial plate measures 26.5 cm x 37 cm so much smaller than other clocks of a similar design making this example much rarer. Additionally the total height of the case is only 211cm The Mahogany case has detailed panels to the front, and also the sides of the base. The sides of the trunk also have bevelled edge glasses which allow more light in to the case so you can see the polished tubular bells, weights and pendulum more easily, making this a visually more attractive clock. There are also chamfered angles to the trunk and base with blind fretwork, frets to the sides of the hood, and blind fretwork to the arch of the hood. It should be noted that Tubular chiming long case clocks are usually much larger than this example. This has a smaller dial, and therefore the case has corresponding smaller proportions.
