Joe DiMaggio's Presentation Desk Clock
About the Item
From the personal collection of the legendary Joe DiMaggio, this incredible vintage desk clock was presented to the Yankee Clipper by Harrah's for his participation in their 1967 invitational golf tournament. The Swiss timepiece was retailed by Relide of New York and features a brass cube-form body that rotates easily between four separate indicators: a clock, a thermometer, a barometer and a hygrometer (to measure humidity). The top bears the engraving "Harrah's / Invitational 1967 / Joe DiMaggio", and a label applied to the base indicates this clock is indeed from the collection of the American baseball icon.
This timepiece is accompanied by a letter of authenticity signed by the grandchildren of Joe DiMaggio.

- French Musical Automaton Picture ClockLocated in New Orleans, LAOne of the most amazing timepieces we have ever acquired that offers far more than meets the eye, this incredible work of art blends the beauty of a painting with the mechanical complexities of both a cylinder music box and an automaton. While it is clear to see the integrated clock residing within the arched giltwood and gesso frame, when activated, this painting quite literally comes alive. As the cylinder mechanism within plays its lovely tune, every character in the farrier's shop becomes animated – from the group of farrier's toiling away at the forge and anvil forming the horseshoes, to the wagging of the charming terrier's tale. This musical automaton picture clock is attributed to Xavier Tharin of Paris who was the preeminent creator of this fantastical "moving pictures", especially this particular farrier scene. His process mixed oil painting and hand-colored lithograph images that were layered starting from the back, middle and foreground to craft the complex series of movements throughout the painting. A look inside this particular work reveals the complex mechanism (with the three gongs, pendulum and cylinder components immediately visible) which must run the timepiece, the cylinder musical component plus the multitude of moving elements in the painting...a truly incredible feat considering the technical prowess to create just one of these devices.
