Tax included. no-cost delivery worldwide.
Wow! Folks, here’s the clock that started it all…the mechanics were brought back horizontally in the 60s and 70s as the vintage flip-clocks we know and love today. These Antique turn-of-the-century Plato Flip-Clocks are oh-so-cool, but oh-so-RARE! I’m proud to present it to you in WORKING condition. It winds up nicely and the mechanical clock mechanism seems to go for a good while before needing winding again. The tiles flip nicely, although, sometimes a tile flips halfway, but it seems to correct eventually. The time it keeps is fairly accurate. I would recommend having it cleaned and/or serviced by a watchmaker or jeweler; but, if you’re looking at these clocks, you probably already know this. The brass carriage lamp casing is in exceptional condition, with a nice aged patina. However, it wouldn’t take much polishing to have it shiny again. The glass panels seem to be original with NO CRACKS. This clock is a “bucket list” clock for any seasoned collector’s collection…a trophy clock faultless for everyday use. premium materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.
