Notes

This clock is brand new and appears never even to have been taken out of its box. In the 1980s Cartier decided to revive the splendor of its finest Art Deco creations with these desk/alarm clocks. Among those re-created were the famous Basculante and Tryptyque clocks. All featured typical Art Deco forms, colors, and materials.
