Description
with integral alarm clock. OK this one is ideal for the clock collectorÖthe best of both worlds. The bronze case is marked Depose in two places, as well as Swiss Made and serial number 332. The well jeweled 8-day clock is supported by 2 fluted columns that rise from the bird box. The clock has the most interesting alarm we have seen, in that a tiny hour hand, inside the alarm set circle, moves with the large hour hand so you are always aware at a glance of both the indicated and alarm time. The entire case was finely engine turned prior to gilding and has an iridescent look from any angle, and finally, the lid over the bird is a fine enamel of an Alpine castle near water falls. Runs, alarms and sings. Height 6.8", 15cm
