This small table clock, made in 1928, illustrates the late 1920s taste for objets d’art that were also timepieces. Its rectangular dial, outlined in lapis lazuli, is inserted within a rock crystal plaque, engraved with floral motifs, that rests on a stepped base of onyx, lapis lazuli, and rock crystal. This composition is punctuated by linear diamond and platinum motifs. The decorative aspect is combined here with the timepiece’s functionality, typifying an era where refinement and excellence in jewelry were applied to domestic objects.
