Certainly not high end but a little piece of watch/clock history, an alarm version.

This clock started out as a carriage clock in another case. A friend decided to built his own case for it. In the one picture, the circular beveled glass for the top had not yet been made.

Only chimes on the hour, but sounds fantastic!
The cuckoo clock is from Germany. It has two different birds with two different sounds. My father bought it when he was stationed in Austria.

An attractive Swiza Calendar

and a Junghans, maybe from the 1950s?

Picked up this LeCoultre at Round Top flea market a couple weeks ago. $5. Not bad.

Would that have been used in a darkroom?
We had something very similar in the darkroom of the high school I was at as a kid way back in the last century.

From an exhibit of railway timekeepers (clock and watches) that two of us did at a model train show, pre-COVID. Two 15-day Seth Thomas World octagon drop clocks which were extensively used by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The one on the right belongs to a friend. The 24-hour Roman numbered dial is original Seth Thomas painted metal. The other one was mine. It has the silk-screened, aluminum 24-hour dial with Arabic numerals that CP Rail fitted to all their clocks in 1969. At the time, I had two of these. The one on the left was sold to a friend who made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
