Stamped movement - Jules Rolez Paris Limited, previous owner said it had been over wound, hopefully only a minor repair as it still chimes on the hour & 30 mins. Needs a damn good clean though

Nice clock - I'd hesitate before polishing it up to 'shine like a new penny' though. I say leave the patina as it is and just service the movement, or you may be removing value
