Can anyone identify this clock?

Why didn't I think of put Jaeger Car Clock in to Google searching Jaeger Clock just got me mostly nice expensive household clocks - I swear my brain has been particularly useless today.

This one looks similar-ish though the winder on mine comes off at the 3 o'clock position.



from here - listed at 550 euros

I have promised my friend half the money if I end up selling it so it looks like he might get a pleasant surprise though given the wear and the fact that it needs work I suspect that I would be lucky to get that sort of money for it.

Thanks for that info Seth I cannot afford to have it overhauled at the moment

I have worked out how to get the movement out on the dial side it is marked Depose and on the reverse side it is marked Brevet and Swiss Made.

Wow, what a lovely piece!

Id get it either a) into the hands of The Seth or b) sold on

I'm probably dumb but I don't understand why a clock would be '8 day'

IDY, looks like a pretty good movement! (I won't go into gory details of why ) Shame about the dial.

Will it actually tick even if for only a few seconds? Only one way up/both ways up? To do that twist it in you hand in a kinda sudden movement to try and get the balance oscilating - that's the bit with the tiny screws around its perimeter in your second movement photo.

If the balance wobbles around as though its "axle" is broken then it will cost a bit to repair. If its just fully wound and not running then its probably just gummed up and just needs cleaning - cheaper. If you can continually wind the stem and it doesn't get stiffer - or seems to slip after a few winds then the mainspring is broken - not too costly but a "might as well clean the rest up while its apart" kind of job.

JS, as Rottie says, 8 day refers to the length of run-time on a single wind - so basically you'd wind a clock/watch like this once a week.

Rottie, no reason not to wind it fully if its functioning properly
