AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exquisite and imposing carriage-table travel clock in the “Carriage Clock” (alarm clock) style with alarm complication, produced by the high-end Swiss manufactory LE VALLÉE towards the end of the 20th century.
A true masterpiece of micromechanics and artistic craftsmanship: the case is made of solid brass, entirely hand-engraved with dense floral and geometric motifs. The original gilding is bright, clean, and shines splendidly in the light.
Technical Details & Condition:
Origin: Swiss Made (Switzerland)
Movement: High-quality manual-wind Swiss mechanical movement.
Mechanical Condition: COMPLETELY SERVICED by a professional watchmaking laboratory. The clock runs perfectly, keeps time with excellent precision, and the alarm complication (chime) is strong, clear, and perfectly synchronized.
Aesthetic Condition: Excellent, comparable to new. 100% intact gilding, without abrasions, oxidation, or worn parts. Immaculate white enamel dial, free from streaks, cracks, or defects. Louis XV-style pierced and blued spheres.
Controls: All winding keys and regulation knobs are integrated on the back, contemporary and original.
Size and Weight with substantial presence:
Real weight: 900 grams (solid brass)
Total height (with crown raised): 114 mm
Height to case: 82 mm
Base width: 68 mm
Total depth: 51 mm (case body: 39 mm)
A work of horological art ready to be added to a collection of luxury pendulums or displayed as a prestigious desk and interior furnishing piece for high-class offices and interiors.
Shipping: The item is located in Italy. It will be shipped via international express courier with full tracking. Given the delicacy and weight of the piece, I guarantee professional and reinforced packaging (double box and ample cushioning) to be impact-resistant.
