C.1880, French, "Clock in Globe", conventional lever escape movement secured into the terrestrial globe with 4 thumb screws with rosette heads. Condition: the globe has some losses, maybe 5% to the paper cover, here and there. The clock is positioned in the center of the Pacific Ocean, and although Hawaii is not visible, most of the rest of the islands and continents are there; nomenclature is in English. The marble base has a bronze footing and 4 feet, from which rise 4 fluted columns, surmounted by a plate that positions the top of the globe and topped by a small Aneroid barometer, labeled simply 'Paris'. Meant for a desk, one rotates the globe to display the time to a guest. Height 15.5 inches
