CR 10.6.25- As mentioned in the catalog description, the clock was observed operating but it starts and stops after several minutes, it is quite difficult to wind, indicating that it may be nearly fully-wound or wound tight, it is accompanied by a well-fitting pendulum and key, the movement is marked with Chinese characters, as with all of our clocks, this piece would likely benefit from a professional adjustment and a thorough cleaning of the movement
