This wall clock is a complicated masterpiece that you will treasure for a lifetime. It is a Patek Philippe watch dealer’s showroom display clock that features the 8 day key wound German movement.. The clocks complicated mechanical movement is a cable driven regulator assembly. The intricate pulley and high polished yellow gold toned weight system, combined with the yellow gold tone finished pendulum run this complicated masterpiece with true precision. When it comes to clocks, this is truly a complicated and accurate timepiece, and I have yet to see any clock that compares to this one.
The metallic pearl like white dial of the clock is absolutely gorgeous! The pictures does not do justice… when you see this dial in person you will be stunned! Nothing like you’ve ever seen before…and difficult to explain, hence the many photographs taken. Keep in mind that I’m not a professional photographer, to take this pictures I used my 8MP Canon digital camera. The stunning metallic pearl like white dial, as magnificent as it is measures approximately 6 inches in diameter. It features the time via the hour and minute hands. Again, this is an 8 day mechanical clock, and features the intricate and sophisticated system with the pendulum, which provides precise accuracy, once the simple adjustment is made to the clock. The adjustment is made one time only, and that is right after you mount it to the wall. The clock strikes the hours, as well as the 1/2 hours. The clocks rich, opulent dark cabinet is in solid hardwood with yellow gold accents and is finely hand crafted and hand finished. The back of the clocks case also features the burlwood, again this is difficult to see from the photographs. The clocks hardware (door latches and hinges) are in the yellow gold tone overlay, and the magnificent glare resistant, tinted and polished bevel edged glass not only protect the magnificent movement, but make this mechanical masterpiece the most spectacular watch dealer’s display that you have ever seen!! It allows a clear view of the clock’s dial, pendulum, regulator weights and movement. This is a nice sized wall clock, and measures 31 inches in height and 9 inches in width and is 5 inches deep. It’s pre-owned, approximately 5 years old but as you can see from the many pictures below the clock is in excellent condition and I confirm that it’s keeping accurate time. I had the clock cleaned and serviced about 2 months ago. I also do not have the original box but do not let this be a worry as I will have a professional packing company measure the clock and create the perfect packing solution in order to gurantee worry free delivery to anywhere in the world.
