Statement on Authenticity & Maker’s Marks
The mechanical integrity and heritage of this timepiece are confirmed by several distinct hand-stamped markings on the movement and frame:
- H&H Hallmarks: The rear movement plate is clearly stamped with the prestigious H&H (Harris & Harrington) square mark, identifying its elite importer status.
- French Provenance: Below the movement, the 'MADE IN FRANCE' stamp confirms its 19th-century origin in the heart of French clockmaking.
- Serialized Matching: The number '701' is hand-stamped into the base and the interior frame. This indicates a 'matched set' assembly, typical of high-end hand-fitted clocks where each crystal pane was custom-ground to its specific frame.
- Inventory Records: The movement features the serial number '8733 4 8', a hallmark of 19th-century French production tracking."
