CHOICE SWISS ART DECO ONYX DESK / SHELF CLOCK. This handsome example of circa 1930 Deco timekeeping comes from my personal collection of antique clocks. The case effectively repeats hexagonal forms; beginning with the satin brushed silver center dial, matte white chapter ring with bold Arabic numbers and minute markers, beveled crystal and nickeled brass bezel. The metal case is flanked by variegated green onyx pyramids on a deep rectangular onyx plinth. The high grade Swiss 8-day spring driven lever movement by F. Cornioley has fifteen jewels, three adjustments, and a bimetallic balance with Breguet overcoil hairspring. Brevet (patent) designation on the movement cover likely pertains to the single key wind/pull set mechanism. NOTE: I fully disassembled the movement, ultrasonically cleaned and rinsed all elements, removed the mainspring from the barrel to clean and grease, checked for wear, reassembled and lubricated with high-grade Swiss oils. Hands, bezel, movement dust cover and the key were cleaned and polished. Meticulous restoration ensures reliable operation for years. 5″ high, 7 5/8″ wide, 2 1/8 deep at base.
