I found a french clock movement today ( in France) there is no dial etc, but the crutch would swing the pendulum (if there was one) from front to back .also there are two escape wheels. I have never seen one like this before .It has the usual count wheel and is marked PONS and BP&F . I only bought it for spares not noticing that the crutch arm came out between the plates.must change these glasses . I hope maybe someone has seen one of these before I would be grateful for your input thanks Les

Nice clocks but a pain to restore.

Done one a while ago now, you have a swinging cherub as a pendulum that rocks to and fro.

the escape wheel teeth are very delicate and needed new wheels cut on the one i did. Don't recogbise your maker.
