The original shipping box, the so-called tabernacle, is present and included.

Condition:
The clock runs absolutely reliable and accurate.
Authentic and for its age very nice condition. The photos are not "embellished", the case condition is as shown in the photos.

I give a one year warranty on the movement when professionally set up and handled.

Fun Facts:
The "clock that lives on air" uses the "breathing movements" of a gas-filled bellows created by temperature fluctuations to wind the movement.
The movement of the clock is conspicuous by its cylindrical box on the back. Inside, a bellows-shaped expansion chamber contains chloroethyl, a gas that expands particularly strongly between 10 °C and 27 °C. The movement's accuracy is dependent on the "breathing movement" of the bellows.
The condition for the clock's accuracy is a stable and vibration-free installation.
