The firm built its early reputation importing Black Forest clocks before opening a flagship shop and workshop on Oxford Street in the 1860s, later renumbered to 56 New Oxford Street, the very address printed on this dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Kuss name was anglicised to Cuss around the time of the First World War, and the firm continued trading under the Camerer Cuss name for the rest of the century, eventually closing its last store in 2002 after more than 200 years in business. Owning a piece with this retailer's name on the dial connects it directly to one of the great names of British horological retail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe movement itself is by Perivale, a British manufacturer based in Perivale, Middlesex, that built its name through the 1930s, 40s and 50s producing solid, well-engineered spring-driven clock movements, including striking and chiming models supplied to numerous retailers and clockmakers of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThere is a faint chalk mark inside the case that appears to read 8\/39, though this hasn't been treated as a confirmed date and is offered only as an observation for interested buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"section-label\"\u003eThe Movement\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eFully Serviced \u0026amp; Running Beautifully\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe movement has been inspected, cleaned, and lubricated using Novostar oil on the mainspring and synthetic clock oil on the pivots, then tested.
