    Can't find this exact one anywhere. Saw that some people use different clocks in different cases so I don't know if that's the issue. I've spent way too long on this tonight :dead: :bored:

    It appears to be a routine C. 1900 French carriage timepiece. It appears to have its original cylinder escapement. You should be able to find a large number of comparable items sold, although none are likely to exactly identical, this is immaterial.
    You do not mention the size but it is probably what is called 'obis (properly, 0bis), the most common size, about 5 inches high.

    Try a search for antique French carriage timepiece, cylinder escapement, to get the closest matches.

    The mark underneath would be a repairer. It has been taken to pieces at some time, possibly for cleaning.
