A very unusual and ingenious design, it has a chrome surround to the face and back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe single control knob is attached by a fine chain to the rear of the clock and can be used to wind the clock, set the time, alarm etc: (see images). Not having separate control knobs means that the mechanism on the rear is flat enough for the clock to neatly fold in the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCase Width, Height, Depth (WHD): 9.4 x 9 x 2.9 cm\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eClock Face Width (including Chrome surround): 7.5cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn good working condition, the alarm clock face is cream-white, with the hands and numerals in a contrasting black with beige highlights. Really easy to read from a distance but not in the dark as its hands are not luminous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe leather casing is in very good vintage condition with some slight surface blemishes\/scuffs commensurate with age and use. The zip is working effectively and all the stitching is intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe clock is thought to date to the 1930s\/40s, and it is possible that the 7-Jewel movement, probably 8-day, may have been manufactured by Jaeger leCoultre (JLC) for Smiths. We haven’t opened up the clock to check for any distinguishing maker’s marks. It would probably require a CLA (clean, lube and adjust) service to guarantee accurate time keeping. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAll in all, a beautiful, and useable, collectible art deco alarm clock.
