Description from the seller

This desk clock, crafted in the first half of the 20th century, is a collectible piece that combines elegance, history, and character. Its structure is carved from black marble, giving it a solid and distinguished presence, while decorative details in golden bronze add a touch of classic refinement. At the top, a majestic bronze eagle figure crowns the piece, symbolizing strength and nobility, further enhancing its decorative value.

The watch features a white background dial, blue Roman numerals, and black hands, all framed by a golden bezel that harmonizes with the rest of the metallic elements. Its mechanism is operational, although it requires adjustments typical of its age, making it an excellent opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts of traditional watchmaking who value authenticity.

Additionally, it features a chiming mechanism with two bells, which adds a charming and distinctive acoustic element. This piece not only keeps time but also evokes an era of great craftsmanship and an appreciation for details. Perfect for enhancing any space with an air of sophistication and historical memory.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
