19th Century Neuchâtel Wall Clock Illustrates The Refinement Of Swiss Watchmaking

This 19th-century Neuchâtel clock is a remarkable example of Swiss watchmaking of its time, combining elegance and technical precision. Here is a detailed description of this piece: The clock is distinguished by its domed white enamel dial, where the hours are marked with Roman numerals and the minutes with Arabic numerals. This arrangement allows for a clear and structured reading of time. The finely crafted brass hands, adorned with star motifs, reflect exceptional attention to detail. The clock mechanism is housed in a rectangular polished brass case, incorporating an anchor escapement system, characteristic of high-quality clocks of this period. This mechanism ensures remarkable regularity of operation, testifying to the technical expertise of the time. The whole is framed by a black lacquered beechwood cabinet, richly decorated with hand-painted floral motifs. The finely crafted moldings, enhanced with gilding, add a touch of sophistication to the object. A matching lamp base completes this luxurious decor, highlighting the harmonious balance of the whole. With a total height of 90 cm, this clock stands out as a true work of art, both functional and decorative. It embodies the 19th century taste for elegant and technically elaborate pieces, while reflecting the artisanal excellence specific to the Neuchâtel watchmaking tradition. This clock is sold in its current condition, with a revision of the mechanism to be expected. Despite this, it remains a precious testimony to the art of Swiss watchmaking and a remarkable collector's item for any antique lover.
