Late 1940s Unicorn Mechanical Crystal Table Clock
Hi RWC,
Just went to collect another piece of vintage. It has been serviced and now it is ticking along like a time bomb
A Brand new piece at Harold with a quartz moment on a crystal piece will put you back around $300 - $450.
This is a piece of true history with mechanical moment that will last another 100 years if well taken care of.
Another thing to remember, in the old days, may of these things are handcrafted and not your modern day mass production. Just by touching the diamond cut design of the crystal clock turns me on.....hahha
On the behind, the usual, setting for timing and setting for alarm. A winder for the running of the time and the other winder for the alarm. The + and - is for adjusting gain or loss of time as the weather changes in ang mo countries. In Singapore, it will sweating after running...
Hope you learn abit of history today.
