About the Item

In 1975, the prestigious Swiss watch company Swiza chose this watch as the solitary protagonist of its magazine advertising campaign. You can see why. Modern and very unique, it features a nicely weighty gilt ball clock, an 8 day power with an alarm, that sits cradled on a very modern lucite base. The clock can stand without the lucite base, although you probably won't want to separate this duo. The sphere clock is in excellent condition and incredibly complete with box and relative guarantee. The ball clock has a diameter of 7 cm The acrylic base is 10x10x4cm.
