This is the three-glass case variant, with bevelled glass panels to the front and sides and a solid brass back door, so the movement is visible from the front and sides while at rest.

The firm grew out of Albert Villon's clockmaking shop of 1867, becoming Albert Villon, Duverdrey et Bloquel in 1896 and then simply Duverdrey \u0026amp; Bloquel after Villon's death in 1902. The Bayard name was registered in 1928, taken from the historic French knight known as \"sans peur et sans reproche\", fearless and beyond reproach. The firm became one of the region's largest clock manufacturers, and pieces from the transitional period, like this one, are typically dial-signed Bayard while the movement retains the Duverdrey \u0026amp; Bloquel stamp, exactly as seen on this example's backplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDating is indicative and based on the case style, dial signature and movement markings rather than a documented production record.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRestoration Checklist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"checklist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovement fully dismantled and ultrasonically cleaned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePivots, bushes and platform escapement inspected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNovostar oil applied to mainsprings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynthetic clock oil applied to pivots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovement reassembled and regulated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase and glass panels cleaned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended bench test for timekeeping (see photos for current condition)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"dims-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight (handle up)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 cm \/ 5.5 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 cm \/ 3.1 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 cm \/ 2.4 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease refer to the photographs for a full record of the case and dial condition.
