An extremely rare, large, heavy, electrical, brass window display of a triple calendar moonphase wristwatch
In good used condition (currently running), diameter 33 cms. AAA
These wonderful displays were used in retailers windows to attract attention. Often discarded it is extremely rare to find these intact and running. When plugged in, all the fonctions move forward (hours, seconds, day, date, month, moonphase) at a faster rate to demonstrate the different functions. This clock does not actually display the actual time but simply its functions. While currently running, please note that the electrical system is over 50 years old and may need some work to keep it working on the long run.
