Up for sale we have this lovely clock of English manufacture by the very well known PERIVALE company and sold under the "BENTIMA" brand name, this clock will date to the 1950's. The clock will come with our own setting up leaflet.
Prior to being offered for sale the clock has been fully serviced and overhauled, all movement parts being cleaned in the proper horological fluids and rinsed in the proper horological rinse, re oiled correctly, to ensure its future performance. The movement is original to the clock, and in very good order, photos of the movement following servicing and prior to being refitted to the case are shown with the other photos in the listing.
A great clock, in super all round condition, the case being of veneered timber using oak and walnut veneers along with some inlay, having a good shine. In our opinion the clock is as near to perfect as a clock of this age can be.
The clock retains its original bezel and glass which are excellent, the original face is very good and clear to read.
So, a lovely and totally original clock of very good quality, by a very good English maker, just serviced and fully working, this will look great anywhere and should give years of faithful service.
