GENERAL AUCTION - VINTAGE & RETRO
Lot 669:
Description
A small arched-top desk clock featuring a circular mechanical drum-style movement attributed to Jaeger. The movement is housed within a dark-stained hardwood case of arched form, supported by a stepped rectangular plinth base. The movement is secured at the rear by a transverse metal strap and includes a visible regulation adjustment lever. The clock features a circular black dial with white Roman numerals and spade-shaped hands, enclosed by a metal bezel. This specific design is characteristic of early 20th-century automobile dashboard clocks that were frequently rehoused in wooden cases for domestic use as desk or mantel clocks.
