If you have the movement with bronze medal you are lucky because this was used between 1860 and 1889. After this he used silver medal stamp which he got in 1889. Members of his family also added that the bronze medal stamp was used between 1867-69 so your clock is quite specific.
Does it have any sign to the case?

hope that it helps.
