Matthias Naeschke "La Mignone" 14-Day Desk Clock

Matthias Naeschke "La mignone" desk clock, featuring a mechanical manual winding movement with a 14-day power reserve; movement composed of gold-plated brass parts; glass canopy; and base made of a darkly stained wood. Dimensions: 5.1" (13cm) height x 11.8" (30cm) width x 5.5" (14cm) depth.

Each movement of the “La mignone“ series is made by hand, piece by piece in the best Naeschke tradition. All components undergo a lengthy production process during which they are continuously cut and polished with the very finest compounds and finally gilded to hold and preserve the finish. For accurate time-keeping a shockproof Swiss platform with anchor escapement and screwed balance is fitted. The bright red of the seventeen ruby bearings and endstones stands in beautiful contrast with the golden sheen of the gilded parts. The 14-day movement lightly floats over its darkly stained wood base and the fitted glass chamber invites a completely free appreciation of the filigreed mechanics. Fine polished, flame-blued hands orbit a matt rhodium galvanized dial.
