This rare antique German mechanical alarm clock—manufactured around 1900 by the renowned Hamburg-Amerikanische Uhrenfabrik (HAC/HAU)—is a true horological gem. The "Répétition" model, bearing the signature "Pfeilkreuz" (crossed arrows) mark, features a fully functional alarm repeat mechanism.
Unlike many specimens found by chance (such as in attics), this clock’s movement has been completely disassembled, meticulously cleaned in an ultrasonic bath, reassembled, and lubricated. It is in excellent working order.
With its striking brass case, distinctive domed bell atop the unit, and elegant *Belle Époque* style dial typography, this piece possesses a vivid historical character.
Such a clock makes a magnificent gift for collectors, historians, or connoisseurs of the exquisite mechanics of a bygone era. It looks stunning on a study desk, a library shelf, or a mantelpiece in a rustic-style interior.
Dimensions: * Height: approx. 18 cm / 7" (including the top carrying ring)
Diameter of the case: approx. 11.5 cm / 4.5"
Weight: approx. 560 grams
