About the Item

Art Deco era "Mystérieuse" Swinging Pendulum Clock Chrome steel figural female flapper clock with marble base by the Junghans clock company. The Junghans Mystérieuse is a striking and rare Art Deco-era swinging pendulum clock, blending sensual design with precision German engineering. At the heart of the piece is a chrome-plated nude female figure, rendered in classic Art Deco style—elegant, elongated, and stylized. In this design, the chrome female figure strikes a balletic, almost theatrical pose, exuding both grace and strength. Her left arm is raised high above her head, curving slightly as it reaches up—this is where the clock pendulum is suspended, hooked delicately at the wrist or hand. Her right arm rests confidently on her hip, grounding her stance and adding a subtle sense of motion, like she's mid-pirouette or frozen in a moment of elegant dance. The body itself is elongated and stylized, capturing the sleek sensuality of the Art Deco aesthetic, with smooth chrome that catches and reflects light dramatically. The clock dial, round and minimalist, swings gently below, suspended by the figure’s lifted arm. As it moves, it animates the entire sculpture, giving it life and rhythm, like she’s conducting time itself with a dancer’s poise. Made by Junghans, a renowned German clockmaker founded in 1861, this clock combines Bauhaus aesthetics with technical sophistication. The contrast between the shiny chrome finish and the soft curves of the female form evokes a mix of modernism and sensuality, making it a conversation piece in any interior.
