Schles.“. Two-piece white enamel dial with black Roman numerals, outer minute track and black openwork hands, the brass-colored bezel with a beaded rim. Weight-driven time-only movement with one winding aperture, brass-colored cylindrical weight and pendulum with a brass-colored bob, at the bottom of the case the white enamelled beat scale inscribed „Boré & Berger Magdeburg.“. Gustav Becker founded a clock factory in Freiburg in Silesia in 1847 whose regulators were produced in large numbers in the 19th century; in 1899 the company merged into the Vereinigte Freiburger Uhrenfabriken.
The beat scale mounted in the case probably refers to the Magdeburg clock retailer who sold the clock.
