    Art Deco J. G. Baer Sumiswald Wall Clock, Swiss, cca.1930

    An early 20th century wall clock JG Baer Sumiswald, Switzerland, P.T.T (Swiss Post, Telegraph and Telephone formed in 1928), with the dial having Arabic numerals and also 24-hour numerals in red, matching steel hands, in oak case of the type called by the French "œil-de-bœuf" (bull's eye), case diameter (front) = 400 mm / dial = 250 mm / octagonal oak wood case (back / mechanism) with side = 150 mm. The case has the original (domed) glass, with a brass frame. The pendulum is also made of brass. The key of the watch is the original one. The mechanism (serial - 4793) inscribed "F-que Horloges Monumentales | J.G.Baer | Sumiswald (Suisse)" with the dimensions 120x68x65 mm (HxWxD), is type Anchor escapement. In horology, the anchor escapement is a type of escapement used in pendulum clocks. The escapement is a mechanism in a mechanical clock that maintains the swing of the pendulum by giving it a small push each swing, and allows the clock's wheels to advance a fixed amount with each swing, moving the clock's hands forward. The anchor escapement was so named because one of its principal parts is shaped vaguely like a ship's anchor. A video recording with the clock in function mode is available on request.

    Very rare and spectacular Luxor Swiss table clock

    Spectacular and very rare Luxor Swiss table clock made in the 1940s. This golden clock is an exponent of Art Deco aesthetics: supple and elegant lines, geometric shape, some decorative elements (the twisted little bar at the top). This is a 8 days mechanical clock with alarm (it has to be manually winded once a week to operate). It is in very good condition with only small age-related traces. Luxor clocks are highly prized by collectors around the world, both for their mechanism and aspect.
