    This is the fourth clock in my collection, which I started just a few months ago. This was the most challenging to get repaired. From the information I got, I understand it's most probably English, but not quite sure about the approximate date of manufacturing. Will appreciate further info or comments.

    A good clock repair shop should have no real trouble with repairing it. It's a Fusee type movement . . . The fusée is a device (wire wrapped on tapered barrel) for converting the varying torque of the mainspring as it unwinds into a more or less constant torque at the center (or minute) wheel pinion. The fusée is very similar, in principle, to an automobile transmission, although the fusée is a continuously variable gear.
