Literature

• Brand/Maker: Stamped "Herschede" clearly at the bottom center of the inner golden dial ring, just above the 6 o'clock position. • Chime Selection (Top Left Dial): This model features a triple-chime selector lever. It allows you to switch between three distinct musical melodies: Westminster, Whittington, and Canterbury. • Chime/Silent Option (Top Right Dial): This control lever toggled between "Chime" and "Silent" modes, allowing you to turn off the melody or striking sequence when quiet is preferred. • Revolving Moon Phase (Top Arch): The moving disk at the top tracks the 29.5-day lunar calendar cycle. The numbers printed along the arch (1 to 29) indicate the lunar date rather than the regular calendar date. A full moon is perfectly represented when the painted moon illustration aligns directly under the number 15. • Seconds Sub-dial: Located directly beneath the 12 o'clock position, this small tracking ring features its own dedicated hand to accurately measure individual seconds.

Provenance
