Couldn't find a general clock thread, outside one focussed on grandfather / mantle clocks.

Another interesting piece in the collect - one of only a few clocks I have.

Keeps good time and doesn't take up a lot of room 😀

I checked out your thread in the off chance that you had this one…

From the 1922 Nosferatu film.

Yours is quite nice so I am glad I looked.

I'd trade it for the movie clock 😀

Saw one of those LeCoultre clocks on the US Antiques Roadshow recently - valued at $600 US.

So I guess they're worth $100 or so 😉. There are many variants - not sure which if any are sought after, but it's a neat design. This particular model is number 384. The feet have a signature and model number on the bottoms along with the Le Coultre and a number 8 painted on the glass itself so its pretty easy to tell if the glass has been replaced.

They really milked the movement and design language. If you search YouTube for it, you'll find tons of variations on the theme.

It looks like Odd Fellows artwork

They arent worth a huge amount but the servicing on them is super costly to repair
