The mahogany case has been sympathetically cleaned and waxed to preserve its original finish while enhancing the natural warmth of the timber. The brass bezel and fittings have also been gently polished without removing their age-related character. Movement fully dismantled, cleaned and inspected. Mainsprings lubricated with Novostar oil.
