Its made by Japy Frères with a cylinder platform its 8 day duration dates around the 1890. The problem with this type of movement is the great wheel the design has it so close to the edge of the plate and as the springs are so powerful that pivot hole wears and always moves to the edge, and in some I have seen it wears so close to the edge that it can't be repaired with out altering the plate. Nice barley twist decoration on the case which looks like oak.
