An attractive double-signed Cartier and LeCoultre travel clock with a green-grey leather case and beautifully aged Art Deco dial. The clock makes an excellent companion for any bedside or mantelpiece.
This Cartier-signed clock features stylish Art Deco numerals and hands filled with once luminous material, and the clock is nestled within a grey-green leather case with a crocodile skin pattern. A charming product of its time, the clock has aged gracefully over the years, having developed a slight patina across the dial. The case can be swivelled open to reveal the clock face, and also doubles up as a stand for the piece.
The dial is double-signed, with both LeCoultre and Cartier signatures, a testament to the symbiotic relationship between manufacture and retailer at the time. Given the especially small size of the clock, it is possible that these clocks were powered by a variant of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso movement, given the manufacture's status as one of the largest makers and suppliers in the period, and the need for a more delicately sized movement.
If sold within the United Kingdom, this Cartier Ados travel clock will be subject to 20% VAT.
