Travel alarm clock has today returned from some real intensive care with several new parts being fabricated by watchmaker and I must admit I am over the moon - waiting on some Speedmaster comments

Main thrust of the post is to see if anyone can help with my attempts to trace the history of the piece.
As you can see it is embossed 'Amiens Christmas 1944' and also what is not so visible ' From L. T*****'
From my own research and with assistance from the Halle Orchestra it is confirmed that the orchestra was touring the Western Front over Christmas and New Year 1944 and the leader at the time was one Laurance Turner.
In all probability this may be all that I will ever find out but if anyone has any information on perhaps who this may have been a gift to or other ideas needless to say input will be greatly appreciated

 

Did JLC do the work? Very nice restoration.

 

My watchmaker applied fresh lume to the hands as a section was missing but everything else is as found.

 

That's gorgeous and the dial's styling is pleasingly sharp! That's an intriguing bit possible history you've included. A quick look to Google finds that Laurance Turner was also a classical violinist. Would be fun to search further when I have time.

 

I love travel alarms. My small one says hi:

 

A movement shot before it went off to hospital, yes I know, nudie fingers



On research I have contacted JLC but whether I will hear back ?
