Lot #52: Rare Sculptural Clock with Swiss Movement – Industrial Art Timepiece

This exceptional and rare clock is a striking fusion of functional timekeeping and sculptural design. Featuring a robust Swiss movement, it offers the precision, reliability, and craftsmanship for which Swiss horology is renowned, housed within a bold, industrial-inspired form that commands attention. The heavily textured, patinated metal face showcases an intentionally aged finish, giving the clock a powerful, time-worn character. Applied metal numerals and rivet-style accents add dimensional depth, while the contrasting hands—particularly the red seconds hand—introduce a sharp visual focal point against the richly oxidized surface. The surrounding curved metal armature enhances the sculptural presence, making this piece as much an art object as a clock. Mounted on a solid pedestal base, the clock stands confidently as a standalone statement piece. Its design bridges industrial, steampunk, and modern rustic aesthetics, making it ideal for a loft, office, study, or curated interior where distinctive objects are valued. Clocks with Swiss movements paired with this level of handcrafted, sculptural metalwork are increasingly difficult to find, adding to its rarity and collector appeal. This is not a mass-produced decorative clock, but a conversation piece with substance, weight, and authenticity. A standout acquisition for collectors of unique timepieces, industrial art, or functional sculpture—offering enduring quality, visual impact, and timeless mechanical excellence.
