Peerless Gong, old German clock

I bought this at an auction about 10 years ago for $800. It didn't work, so I had the movement repaired at a clockmakers shop.

I'd like to know more about it, and if anyone has pictures of the same I'd like to see them. I have my suspicion that a wooden decoration has been broken of the very top, as it feels a little strange as if something had been snapped off. Please see photos.
