This Swiss cylinder clock from the late 19th Century is a remarkable timepiece. It features a beautiful view of Lake Geneva on its enamel dial, depicting the bridge and buildings on the far bank with mountains in the background. The clock has a keywind bar movement with a suspended going barrel and a plain cock with a blue steel regulator. The balance is plain and has three arms, made of gilt, with a blue steel spiral hairspring. The cylinder and escape wheel are made of polished steel. The dial is white enamel with Roman numerals and blue steel hands. The clock is housed in a heavy circular brass case, which not only functions as a paperweight but also has a sliding dovetail mount for wall hanging. The case is complemented by a very thick bevelled flat glass, adding to its luxurious appearance.
