Antique French wall clock “PIAGET – St Raphaël” – manual winding – about 37 cm – with pendulum & key

For sale is an exceptionally decorative antique wall clock with an enamel dial and Roman numerals. The dial is signed with “PIAGET” as well as “STRAPHAËL,” which suggests a French watchmaker or retailer.

White dial with black Roman numerals
Elegant, finely crafted hands
Brass movement with pendulum regulation
Black outer frame with a gold-colored inner bezel.

The clock bears the signature “PIAGET – ST. RAPHAËL.” However, there is no definitive proof that this is a clock from the well-known luxury manufacturer Piaget. It is possible that it is the signature of a regional watchmaker, dealer, or a distribution designation.

Comparable large wall clocks of this kind were often used in public spaces such as inns, stations, workshops, or business premises in the late 19th to early 20th century. Due to their clear legibility and robust construction, they were particularly common there.
St. Raphaël may refer to a coastal town near Saint Tropez.
