AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage collectible clock with Franz Hermle 12-jewel movement and fine porcelain stamp, produced between 1950–1960.

The clock strikes the gong on the hour, counting the exact number of hours (at 3 o’clock it strikes 3 times, at 4 o’clock 4 times, at 12 o’clock 12 times) and once at every half hour.

A rare collectible piece, inspired by the Marie Antoinette period, featuring an exquisite Rococo-style design and a high-quality 12-jewel Franz Hermle movement, made in Germany.

At the top, it bears a royal emblem (coat of arms), not a sun motif. It has been reinforced with a durable grey adhesive, barely visible when displayed. This is how it was originally acquired.

Product details:
• Movement: Equipped with a Franz Hermle 12-jewel movement, ensuring precise and long-lasting operation. The mechanism has been finely adjusted and is known for its excellent reliability.
• Material: Fine porcelain with gilded details reflecting the elegant Rococo style. Crafted from high-quality materials, this clock is a true artisan piece.
• Design: This mantel/table clock stands out through its refined ornaments and distinctive style, making it a unique collector’s item. It also bears the “Marie-Antoinette Clock” mark, inspired by royal aesthetics.
• Condition: The clock is in excellent condition, preserving its beauty and ornamental details intact. Fully functional and suitable as a remarkable gift or collector’s piece.

• Movement brand: Franz Hermle, Germany
• Jewels: 12 rubies
