Hi everyone. I found this old clock in my shed and need help identifying it and any information about it.



It has the following written on the back.

"Duc d’Orléans Breguet Sympathique" and "Abraham-Louis Breguet" who I expect was the guy who made it perhaps?

As you can see, it came up quite nice after a rub with steel wool and some brasso.

Well seeing as your picture url quickly links it to one sold at Sotherby's last December for 6.8M dollars... I'll happily buy yours for 1M pounds.

I might need a day or so to get the cash together though as my Paypal account is a bit low just now.
