Clock my Great Grandfather built

My great grandfather built this clock from blueprints but never added any works. I found a local expert and finally finished it late last year.

My father in law bought this clock from an antiques dealer in the 80s. He was told that the maker made only two of this model. It’s 100” tall and does not have chimes, but dings out a little bell to count the hours. He said he thinks it was made in 1820. Any thoughts or info on it?

I’ve taken the movement off as one of the chains came lose.

Do I need to take the backing off to feed the chain through there’s no space to work with.
