FINE 1920s SWISS SILVER & BRONZE DOMICAL DESK / PAPERWEIGHT CLOCK
RARELY ENCOUNTERED FORM - MAGNIFICENT DIAL UNDER THICK BEVELED CRYSTAL
A prized clock from my personal collection. Time has come for these horological gems to find new homes. Swiss desk, travel and alarm clocks from the turn-of-the-century through the 1980s comprise a significant category of meritorious timepieces I've curated. Yes; that's Doug setting the time to welcome 1974. Tempus Fugit!
The heavy bronze case with heart-shape strut has a decoratively machined rear rim. It can be displayed upright at convenient viewing angle or dial-up as a paperweight. The plain polished silver jacket terminates at a molded bezel with reeded rim set with convex beveled crystal. The pure white dial with oversize sunk seconds has bold black Roman numerals within a chapter ring with minute indicies and diamond markers. Blued steel whip, spade and delicate seconds hands are easily read at a distance.
Fixed key wind and set knob, sliding cover to access regulating arm. Quality 30-hour movement with jeweled lever escapement
NOTE: I have not serviced the movement. However, the timepiece is in good operating order holding reasonable time.
Please
review descriptive information and study the photographs for details.
Thanks!
