Sure, Analog:Shift is a business built around the love of watches — mostly mechanical watches. But, in essence, it’s our love for timepieces and timekeeping in general that are the common themes throughout the items we procure. And that includes the love of clocks in general: pocket watches, travel clocks, and more.

After all, in the couple hundred years before the First World War, personal timekeeping was all about the pocket watch, and before that, it was larger clocks that were front and center, horologically. We still believe a good clock — such as a classic travel model from the 1920s or 1930s — has a place in the watch lover’s collection.

This particular timepiece is a truly incredible 8-day ‘pyramid’ clock from La Grand Maison itself, Jaeger-LeCoultre. Housed in an 8” x 7.4” x 5.25” chrome-plated brass, pyramidal case with a chrome winding key, a chrome winding crown, and an acrylic crystal, it features a black dial with a chrome rehaut featuring quadrant ‘Arabic’ and ‘wedge’ indices, a matching ‘dauphine’ handset, and the Jaeger-LeCoultre signature. Powering the clock is a hand-wound, 8-day movement from Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Dating to the 1960s, this is a truly magnificent piece of horological art, the likes of which are extremely difficult to come by today. If you’re the type of person who appreciates horology beyond the simple wristwatch, you must give it a closer look!
