A LARGE BRASS NOVELTY CENTREPIECE CLOCK IN THE MANNER OF ANDRE GUILMET, 20TH CENTURY
in the form of a stylised waterline submarine with 8-day chiming clock with modern Franz Hermle movement in a revolvable conning tower with barometer dial in opposition, ventilators with thermometer plates, helm, the hull with closed 'gun ports', ladders, anchor, grab chain and rudder, mounted in an oxidised brass sea with wooden base -- 23 x 35 x 14in. (58.5 x 89 x 35.5cm.)
The clock runs and chimes; the opposing barometer dial has no movement; no mechanism to rotate the conning tower which is removable; both thermometers lack tubes. Clock movement and internal securing components appear to be relatively modern.
