Description This brass cigar room desk clock compendium is of four sided tapered form and fitted with a timepiece with an alarm feature and three instrument dials. The main dial is fitted with an eight day movement signed Guardier, with a silvered dial, gilt hands and applied baton hour markers with quarter numerals. The clock is wound by flipping the face over to access the winder and to change the hands. The remaining sides house a hygrometer, barometer and thermometer, each set within matching square dials. The case is formed in brass with a polished finish, raised on four bun feet and surmounted by a carry handle to the top. The clock spins on the base allowing it to face any direction and perfect for a desk or central table. Compendiums of this type were designed for use in a smoking room or study, combining practical instruments within a compact desk piece. View the full Accessories Collection.
