Empire regulator in alabaster and gilt bronze.
Resting on a rectangular terrace adorned with griffins holding a bunch of grapes, 4 truncated columns set in ormolu rings decorated with laurel wreaths, ovals and flowers, support a molded cushion topped with a dentil cornice and decorated with flowers framed by foliage and scrolls.
The gilt-bronze dial shows the time through a white enamel ring and is signed at the bottom by Hauchar, a pupil of Bréguet.
The overhauled and guaranteed movement strikes the hours and half-hours as it passes. The time is punctuated by a central second hand and beaten by a compensated balance.
Parisian work circa 1810 by Charles Guillaume HAUCHAR.
