Antique Swiss Marked 4" 8-Day Travel, Desk or Boudoir Clock, Faux Tortoise Shell & Bronze, 15 Jewels rue Chaptal but we'll leave it toWORKS! An elegant antique Swiss marked 8 day travel, desk or bedside clock with bronze framing & back and a gilt bronze dial set on a faux tortoise shell face, includes adjustment key!
