(A) Shall we begin with two cats stalking a pair of intertwined lovebirds? What's the metaphor here, don't kiss in public? I for one wouldn't think of it!!!

Awwwwwww....

I wish I had wings too. Our frustrated cats are silver-plated and patinated white metal, as are their would-be quarry; other metal decorations are silver-plated brass. The clock chimes on the half hour and hour, a very delicate "ding-ding," which will delight you, not oppress you! The works have been professionally cleaned and adjusted. The clock is about 23 inches wide, 4 1/2 deep, and about 10 high, and, of course, made principally of marble. (e-mail Jack for a price)

 

(D) Hey there, do you have a working motor I can buy for this clock??? It's Paul Frankl's design masterpiece by Telechron. There's slight denting to the sides (more on the left, which you can see here). And, the top suffers some loss to the silver plating. This American icon measures 5 3/4 wide by 7 3/4 high.

Gone but most assuredly not forgotten! SOLD!

 

(F) Another wind-up, this one from Japan. On an onyx base with red plastic of some sort, very Modernist design... It measures 7 3/8 inches wide, 4 3/4 high. (e-mail Jack for a price)

 

(I) The New Haven Clock Company brought us this beauty, which is one piece of mirrored glass (it bends around on the bottom to form the base upon which is stands). The face is made of black glass. It measures a substantial 11 inches wide and is 7 tall. It's in almost mint condition! (e-mail Jack for a price)

 

(J) Another personal favorite, this elegant American beauty by G.E. The hands are chromed, the base polished aluminum. The numbers are mirrored, and stand out gloriously against the creamy white face. There is a switch on the back which illuminates a bulb under the base, which in turn sends light up through the face! It's the sexiest night light imaginable... It measures 8 inches wide, 7 1/4 tall. (e-mail Jack for a price)

 

(K) By Dep, an honored name in French clocks. This wall-mounting clock can, of course, be used on the table as shown. But at the large dimensions of 11 3/4 inches square it's definitely ready to be seen from afar. The wood is in superb condition, and the numerals and the band around the clock are of polished aluminum, tres chic! (e-mail Jack for a price)

 

(M) This French clock boasts Macassar ebony on its face; the top and sides are veneered with Carpathian elm. Yum, yum! And... fully restored works! Measurements: 17 W, 10 H.

BRUCE nabbed this beauty, while everyone else was napping! SOLD!!

 

(O) This could easily be considered the finest set I've ever hauled out of France, depending on your tastes. VERY FORMAL, VERY RICH!! Bronze ornamentation throughout, luscious design, impeccible condition. The clock itself measures 22 across, 10 1/2 high, and is massively heavy!!! Even the back is finished in marble! The width of the "garnitures" is about 6 1/2 at the top. It's got an 8-day movement, with chimes. (e-mail Jack for a price)

 

(Q) Here's a grouping of three cute French marble and onyx clocks, all by the Dep company. Each clock is about seven inches tall. Aren't these designs just the nuts? (e-mail Jack for a price)

(R) This clock makes me think of our California surfers who are -- what's the expresion, "shooting the tube," something like that (can you tell there are no knobs on these knees?)? The clock, whose marble face matches the slab under the supporting bronze "wave," appears to be "shooting the tube" -- at least in my impoverished imagination... So whether you're a surfer or a CEO, wouldn't this clock just elevate the credenza behind your desk? As the original works were beyond repair, I've had a quartz movement installed, and whaddaya know, it keeps perfect time!!! Change the battery once a year! Majestically perched on a black marble base, it's 14 1/2 inches wide, about 10 1/2 high. (e-mail Jack for a price)

 

(G) A sublimely spare and handsome American peach glass clock 6 1/2 inches tall, 6 wide, marked "Chesler Product, Brooklyn, NY." It's an unmarked Hammond movement, in fact... The base is 1/2 inch thick!

Sorry, this clock now tells time on the East Coast (don't forget the difference!) SOLD!!

 

(L) Green onyx and red marble, silvered bronze mounts, and a Mother of Plastic face take this massively heavy French Art Deco clock right over the top! Even the back has marble facing! It measures 22 1/2 wide, 11 1/2 high. Fully restored works, and it chimes demurely (I know, you were expecting a Chinese gong...).

Sorry, this extravaganze of rich materials has found a new home! SOLD!

 

(H) Parchment, from France of course. What a restrained, sculptural look. It's a wind-up, and measures 5 3/4 inches wide by 6 3/8 high, by the Jaz company.

Sorry, Susan's found the perfect spot for this Jaz-gem! SOLD!!

  

(N) This large (over a foot and a half wide) ATO clock even has the original ATO battery inside it, a museum-worthy addition to an already breathtaking item. Fully restored, runs perfectly!

Yo' too late, Momma; Dave's the proud owner of this marble palace! SOLD!

 

(E) I think this is made of rosewood. It's by the Jaz clock company in France, another honored name. There's a small chip on the left rear top, which you can just make out in this photo. Distinctive numbers! It measures 5 3/8 wide, 6 1/8 high, and runs for eight days (it's a wind-up).

This exceptional rosewood beauty has made its way to John's in New York City: SOLD!!

 

(P) Here's a fun chrome, patinated copper, and marble and onyx Moderne French clock set with its original "garnitures," as the French call them. It's about as perfect as the day it was made! It's got an 8-day movement, with chimes. We are talkin' CUTE!!!

We all know how CUTE sells, don't we? SOLD!!!
 

  

(B) An American mirrored cobalt glass clock by Telechron, 6 inches wide by 7 high. No chips, and it even has the original cloth-covered cord. The numbers and base are of solid brass.

So sorry, Charlie, SOLD!!!

  

(C) One of my all-time favorites, a marble and onyx Hamilton Sangamo. The second hand comprises the innermost circle, which turns...for that special "je ne sais quoi." Near-mint condition, 7 inches wide, 6 tall.

Oh, my, this one's gone too! SOLD!!
