Art Deco Style Tortoiseshell Clock

This delightful little clock features an 8 day movement, silver dial and lovely blued hands. Swiss made, it is thought to date back to early/mid 20th Century, making it a compact but charming example of an Art Deco style clock of its time. Clock design was heavily influenced in the 1920s and ’30s by Art Deco, a machine-like aesthetic for a fast-paced industrial age. No object escaped the streamline touch of Art Deco, including clocks, whose cases often echoed the geometric architecture of the day.
In Europe, the French and Swiss were leading producers of Art Deco clocks. The French excelled in clocks for the mantel made of marble, onyx, brass, glass, and chrome.
