An exceptional and very rare sterling silver and gold plated mechanical travel clock.  This folding desk travel clock was a very popular design for Jaeger LeCoultre, and the company made this model for a number of the world's leading retailers of the time. Hermès made their own leather cases to hold these movements, and other such as Asprey of London, high quality silver and goldsmiths charged their own team of master craftsmen to re-case these movements.  This example of an Art Deco travel clock is very unusual especially the exceptional gold plated detailing which has aged beautifully, and includes a classic Art Deco shaped stick marker with the original and matching stick hands.

The winder is mounted just below the six o'clock position and is simply wound once to produce eight days of power.  The number set under the twelve o'clock position is what is known as the 'power reserve' indicator.  This number counts down until there are no more days of power left in the movement, and again it must be wound.

Made in London, England. The clock has numerous English silver hallmarks, and Asprey makers stamps. It has London D date stamp dating it to 1939.
