A magnificent example of precision German clockmaking, capable of keeping time with elegance and style. This Walt mantel clock is a classy furnishing accessory, perfect for enhancing traditional living rooms, libraries, or professional offices.
Theme and Style: The design echoes the classic lines of domed clocks, enhanced with sumptuous details in wrought metal, including the columns with relief figures and the four majestic lion feet. The silver and gold dial with Roman numerals is surmounted by the famous medallion with the Latin motto "Tempus Fugit." The sides feature elegant cathedral-shaped openings screened by a refined burgundy damask fabric that allows the chime to be heard.
Material and Finish: The solid case is crafted of wood with a warm walnut finish, embellished with brass and gold-plated metal decorations and appliqués. At its heart is a reliable German mechanical movement (FHS - Franz Hermle & Sohn). The clock comes complete with its original winding key.
