AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
World clock by Jaccard-Hilser from Germany, cardanically suspended in a mahogany-lacquered wooden case with brass pivot points, so the dial stays level when the case tilts — a principle borrowed from the marine chronometer. Quartz movement, in working order.
The gilded brass ring, 11 cm in diameter, carries a rotatable city ring with the major time zones, from Anchorage and Los Angeles to Tokyo, Sydney and the Azores, each opposite an hour numeral. Inside lies a 24-hour ring with a blue night segment and a silvered dial with a polar projection of the world map and indicated date line. The dial is signed JACCARD by HILSER at six o’clock. The clock is set and wound via the brass knob on the front of the case. Supplied in the original matching presentation box with satin lining.
Jaccard-Hilser works in the Black Forest clock tradition and made this type of desk piece in the late twentieth century for the travel and corporate gifts market.
Condition: Good
The quartz movement runs. The dial is clean and clearly legible. The brass shows light surface marks and a light patina, appropriate to age. The cardan suspension turns smoothly and the wooden case retains its high-gloss varnish. The outer presentation box shows signs of storage.
Dimensions: Dial 11 cm diameter. Wooden case 14 × 14 × 11 cm. Original presentation box 23 × 20 × 15 cm.
Weight: 1,645 gm (total, including box).
