I originally posted this in the Vintage Forum, where it was suggested I try here, too … so that's what I'll do :)

I currently have another "project" with my watchmaker, a Lord Elgin "Panorama" (which was part of their "Horizon Series", a group of watches where the watch crystal overlaps the outer edge of the watch for a "borderless" look).

Hi! I think this is my first post in a long time.

I would like to know how to get my clock to light up, how much voltage does it need. There are four small light bulbs under the screws on the front.

BUTT DIAL

Recently acquired this and it just arrived this morning. I did some research and couldn't find a ton of info. I did find other photos of the same design but with different branding on the dial. This has a 36/55 on the left side of the case.

dfreemont.com had some basic information on David Freemont but only an Amazon link to purchase a collectors guide.

What do I have here? Is it of any value? Any information would be appreciated.
