AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Joseph Hernfield desk clock
High-quality clock by Joseph Herfield, made of mahogany wood with a Tambour silhouette or top-hat shape. The dial features Roman numerals with Louis XV-style hands in black metal that contrast perfectly with easy readability. With various bronze appliques on its feet, handles and pulls.
Westminster Melody. Every quarter hour it performs a part of the melody. 4 notes at 15 minutes, 8 notes at 30 minutes, 12 notes at 45 minutes. On the hour exactly, the complete 16-note melody sounds, followed by the chimes that indicate the current hour.
Thanks to its bronze tuning rods, the sound is rich, deep, and resonant, creating a sense of calm and order in the home. This sound is something quartz clocks will never be able to imitate.
It can be silenced by moving the upper needle on the dial.
The movement is an eight-day one, in PERFECT CONDITION of operation and aesthetics, like new. With its key.
I have a video showing how the clock works.
With dimensions of 31 cm in height, 30 cm in width, and 17 cm in depth.
It will be shipped in suitable packaging to protect it during transport, using CATAWIKI's smart shipping service.
