The name was reserved for the company's more expensive eight-day mechanical clocks, while quartz models generally carried the Weiss name. The business was restructured as David Peterson Clocks in 1996 and continues to produce traditional solid-brass carriage clocks today.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,serif;font-size:21px;color:#1a1a1a;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd6c7;padding-bottom:7px;\"\u003eThe Movement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The solid-brass movement runs for approximately eight days from a full wind and incorporates an \u003cstrong\u003e11-jewel, shock-protected platform escapement\u003c\/strong\u003e, visible through the bevelled top glass. This is a time-only clock — reliable mechanical timekeeping without striking or chiming. The clock is supplied with its original key, used for both winding the movement and setting the time.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,serif;font-size:21px;color:#1a1a1a;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd6c7;padding-bottom:7px;\"\u003eRestoration \u0026amp; Condition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The clock has been dismantled, cleaned, serviced and tested by Mahn \u0026amp; Co, with Novostar oil applied to the mainspring and synthetic clock oil to the pivots. The movement is running well and the brass case retains its rich golden finish along with minor signs of age and previous ownership.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The dial remains clean and the bevelled glass panels present well.
