I have one similer to this without the ring of jewels. Mine doesn't work either. The one I have has 8jours written on the face. Looked them up online, said it wasn't theirs. If you ever get any info on yours, drop me a line. Would like to get the one I have fixed because of it's uniqueness Thank You
also had a friend take the clock to The Antique Road Show when they were in the area. Couldn't tell nothing.
This clock is in a class of beauty beyond any I have seen.It is awesome!
seen plenty of theses in india,most are reproductions,nice piece though.
This is called a "ball" clock. It is stem wind and pin set. It is not a fake or copy but the real thing. I see these in my shop from time to time. Your's is stunning and unusual with its telephone dial and matching stones. A good watchmaker could fix this. Very nice and collectable.
Very Unique and Beautiful. Find a trusted Jeweler who loves his line of work to Pamper this work of art!!
