About the Item
A beautifully gilded desk clock with perpetual calendar, moon-phase and an adjustable world time ring in the shape of an armillary sphere or astrolabe made by Jean Roulet, Le Locle in Switzerland. This model was the top of the range and known as the ‘President’ clock presumably because of the presence of one in the Oval Office on the corner of the Resolute Desk under Ronald Reagan.
The early quartz movement is housed behind the brushed silver dial which displays the date, month and day of the week with the time on an outer roman chapter, the whole clock rotates on a central axis. This clock is ‘As New’ having never been run and was bought from a jeweller as new old stock, and comes with it’s original presentation case.
Jean Roulet made clocks for retailers such as Tiffany, Cartier, and Asprey’s as well as examples like this under their own label, this clock dates from the 1980’s and is of exceptional quality.

Henri Jacot Carriage Clock with Strike Repeat Function
Located in Amersham, GB
This superb gorge cased carriage clock is beautifully gilded, with a crisp white enamel dial and a roman chapter ring and outer arabic minutes. The eight day two train movement is regulated by a slivered English lever platform escapement, striking on a blued steel gong, with hour repeat button.
The case is numbered 10135 throughout, this coupled with the maker’s mark showing the dates of awards on the front plate, means we can date the clock to between 1878 and 1889.
The front and back plates are both marked with Jacot stamps. The front with the medal stamp listing the exposition awards Jacot had won. Bronzes in 1855 and 1862, and silver medals in 1867 and 1878. This stamp did not change until 1889 when Jacot junior won the companies first gold medal. The back plate shows the parrot trademark stamp with the initials HJ which came into use in 1878.
The back of the dial is also signed by the enameller and numbered with the serial number. This is a very thoroughly marked and numbered clock in excellent condition.
