Such a nice day, I thought I'd take a few pics of my '50s-era JLC triple-date clock. This one runs like a champ - +10/day! I know there are a few nice Zeniths & Omegas out there too...let's see some more.

 

Late 1890's - American made, in Connecticut.

 

Here's a Gübelin 8 day travel alarm clock, featuring the most finely finished movement (Geneva waves, four adjustments) that I have ever seen on such clocks…

 

pre WW1 Seth Thomas marine lever. Off a freighter that worked the New Brunswick coast for lotsa years.

 

How about a 1946 Big Ben that has a reproduction dial and has been relumed... because I actually use it!

Love these! Iconic.

I can see it from here!

 

Holy Batman! That first Telechron belongs in Gotham City!

 

Gustav Becker Vienna Regulator- Weight driven miniature. Very early serial number which puts it in the first 1% of his production.

 

I don't really know anything about this clock. It was made in 1960 though. It was a flea market find.

 

Some on here might recognize the jeweler on the dial of this one:



If I recall it's from the late 1800's, and has an 8 day fusee movement...

 

Le Coultre from the fifties

 

Here's another alarm clock.

There's one I was waiting for.... Very nice Zenith indeed. And the LeCoultre too.

 

Chelsea with a 5 digit serial number, circa 1900-3

 

Ansonia kitchen clock/alarm. Obviously in need of some TLC.



First part of the job, removing about 100 years of accumulated fireplace smoke, grime and general crud.



After a complete movement strip down, wash in kerosene, new springs fitted, new case glass transfer and it looks a bit like the day it was first put over the fireplace.



I managed to preserve/protect the original paper label, as well as a new repro label for the owner's information.

 

Seth Thomas circa 1865-70.



Top glass is original or "of the era", it is wavy, the bottom glass must be a replacement.
