This piece of modernist design embodies refined mid-century European craftsmanship: its striking square case is finished in a fine exotic wood veneer (resembling rosewood) and accented with polished solid brass elements, raised numerals, and a convex protective acrylic crystal. The dial bears the original "BAYARD 8 DAY" inscription, indicating a high-quality movement with an eight-day power reserve.
Weighing nearly 1 kg and measuring approximately 18 cm in width and 21 cm in height, the clock makes a striking statement piece in both classic and contemporary interiors. Beyond its use in the home—whether on a mantelpiece, desk, or bookshelf—this genuine vintage item serves as a perfect authentic prop for film and theatrical productions requiring an accurate recreation of the mid-20th-century European atmosphere.
