table clock | 31,5x26x20 cm | metal, glass
STATUE is a hand-made mechanical table clock.
The superb artistry which typifies the French Horologists of the late 18th Century seems to culminate in the beautiful clock. Deceptively simple, the restrained elegance serves to enhance the obvious craftsmanship inherent in such fine wheelwork with its delicate crossings and very high tooth counts.
The frames, pierced out of solid brass, are gracefully faceted, polished and burnished to provide a gleaming support for the fourwheeltrain. The Great Wheel has 288 teeth and makes only one revolution daily. This drives the centre wheel with a diameter slightly larger than the bezel, thus, when viewed from the front, framing the enamel dial.
The clock is made on request.
