Looks like you may have a model called the "El Tirso" from circa 1907. There's a slight difference in your clocks' dome/top but otherwise it looks like an exact match to the catalog illustration in my reference book. Hope that helps solve your mystery. If so, please indicate so in your listing. Thanks for sharing.
The display is different , also there are copper illustrations with Romans . I think that this model is older then the one you pointed .
Also the front door for the window , where is the display is made from copper as well .
It's not very easy to actually see what you're referring to because of the shaddow/lighting and lack of detail in your one photo which actually shows the clock's case but the contours of the marble case are exactly the same. The shape of the dome and the two metal finials don't match. Models may show some slight variance over time which is why I said that you "may" have the model I cited. Good luck with your research.
I appreciate your opinion thank you very much ! And thanks for trying to help !
