Circular in form, this Swiss table clock by Luxor features a polished bronze structure adorned with finely cast marine motifs, including fish, starfish, shells, and aquatic plants, distributed along the wide bezel and elevated by a base that showcases two sculpted fish in opposing directions. The golden dial features a minimalist design with radial hour markers and slender black hands, enclosed under a convex glass cover. On the reverse, the manually wound 8-day mechanical movement is accessed through a central winding keyhole. The bronze surface reveals subtle variations in patina, enhancing its visual depth and highlighting the craftsmanship involved in its creation.

The craftsmanship reflects Luxor's reputation for merging aesthetics with technical mastery in horology. The manufacturer’s mark and origin, prominently displayed on the front, attest to its authenticity and Swiss heritage, embodying the era's sophistication and functional artistry.

The clock shows signs of use and age on its surface, as can be seen in the photos.
