It has a mechanical movement (7 jewels), 8 days of autonomy, and only one button to wind the movement and chime. It is also the first alarm clock with retractable doors.
The decor, imitation cloisonné enamel, can vary significantly from one model to another, given that it is hand-painted. The model I am selling is called “La Persiana.” It has a noir lacquered case with antique Chinese polychrome decoration; a base, feet, columns, bezel, and bangle in “gold” metal; a satin silver dial with a central area decorated with a “gold” relief landscape, four numerals, eight hour points, and “gold” hands; a beveled glass crystal, retractable doors, and luminous hands and points.
Format:

weight 550 gr.
Gorgeous!
Caveats:
Traces of use
The clock is in running order and the alarm works correctly. However, since it is an antique, it is being sold with no warranty or guarantee of accuracy. It is not sold as a time-measuring device, but as a unique vintage artifact and interior item.

Chairish sells clocks only with display as the intended use. The mechanical elements are not guaranteed to be in working order by Chairish. See less
