Info

Pigeon Race Clock "Petit Epervier". Seems to be made of chrome/plated brass. The clock has an internal mechanism that is again protected and secured by an outer enclosure.

There are 3 paper dials on the clock: seconds, minutes and hours (24). Winding of the clock is done with a rectangular key via a hole under the minute dial.

There are 8 slots in the magasine for rings. When the slot is activated, a small hole is punched in all dials.

The name "Epervier" comes from a small bird of prey

The serial number is repeated on each individual part that can be disassembled by hand.
