Please note our special conditions regarding clocks and watches
The outer case has some wear and fine surface scratches consistent with age and use. The watch repeats when the button is depressed, however it currently does not seem to mark the quarters or half hours, ie the left figure seems static. The watch currently ticks when wound.
