Jacques Thuret Vintage Reproduction Clock

This item is a vintage reproduction of an antique pocket watch desk clock bearing the name of the historic French royal clockmaker Jacques Thuret. Takes one AA battery (not included). Key Details & Identification • The Text: The face of the clock reads "Jacques Thuret Paris" at the top and features the year "1675" at the bottom. Jacques Thuret (1669–1738) was an esteemed clockmaker to King Louis XIV of France. • The Style: The actual clock unit is modeled after a 17th-century European pocket watch. It features a round brass case with a top winding loop, a red and cream dial, and bold Roman numerals. • The Stand: It rests on an adjustable, heavy brass counterweight gallows stand (or desk hanger). This design allows the pocket-watch-style clock to be suspended like a small lantern or desk ornament.
