A piece that embodies the unbridled luxury and elegance of the Louis XV (Rococo) style, ideal for those seeking a striking furnishing accessory.

Aesthetics and Craftsmanship: The clock is a true sculpture crafted from gilded brass (heavy casting), crafted with a mastery that enhances its three-dimensionality. The case is a triumph of scrolls, rocaille motifs, and acanthus leaves intertwined in a fluid, asymmetrical movement, typical of the finest French Baroque. The gilded dial is protected by a hinged glass with a brass frame; it features black Roman numerals for the hours and small Arabic numerals for the minutes, set off by elegant antique-style perforated hands. Even the back is meticulously detailed, with a lattice pattern (diamond texture) that denotes the high quality of the workmanship.

Movement: Inside this antique-inspired body beats a modern heart: the clock features a precise quartz movement (battery-powered), ensuring reliability and silence without the need for constant manual winding.
