Antique Waterbury Clock Company 8 Day Strike Movement Mantel Clock with Reverse Painting. The arrowpoint box on top has the round face in the upper half of the window, Roman numerals for the numbers with the name written on the inner circle below the hands and exposed central gears. The pendulum below hides various other exposed gears and drawn symbols beneath, while the glass front over the entire box is beautifully hand-painted with a moon on the right side, a sun peeking out from the lower left corner, and floral decorations along the bottom. Darker colored wood makes up the bottom, and a single panel nailed together on the back protects the inner workings. Faded peeling labels from the company adorn the back with lots of information about the clock and directions for its movement.

Founded in 1857 in Waterbury, Connecticut, the Waterbury Clock Company was a premier American clock manufacturer known for mass-producing high-quality mantel, wall, and pocket clocks. Originating from Benedict & Burnham brass manufacturing, it became a major watch producer by the 1890s and, after buying Ingersoll, famously produced the first Mickey Mouse watches in 1933. The company evolved into the United States Time Corporation in 1944 and eventually became Timex Group USA, Inc.
