The dial is the face. The mechanism is the heart.
Antique clocks are valued by maker, mechanism, case, dial, and completeness. A Comtoise with original mechanism and case tells a very different story than a loose dial.
AntiqBot analyses your clock based on photos: dial, case, possibly the mechanism. The system identifies style period, possible origin, and provides an indicative market value.
With clocks, completeness is everything. An original mechanism in an original case with an original dial — that is where the value lies.
Having your clock appraised.
Questions about clock appraisal.
What clock types does AntiqBot recognise?
Grandfather clocks, mantle clocks, Comtoises, regulators, bracket clocks, carriage clocks, and more.
Must the clock work to be valuable?
Not necessarily. A non-working clock with an original mechanism and case can still be valuable. Completeness counts more than function.
Can AntiqBot identify the maker?
If a name or mark is visible on the dial or mechanism, AntiqBot can identify it.
