We offer for your consideration this antique/vintage stem wind dash car clock.This is a manual wind, mechanical watch works clock.
This car dash clock is offered for Restoration. It needs a new second hand, and when winding it up, you can hear the mainspring slip. But the clock hands can be set, and the gear train is responsive.
This dash mount clock is "Swiss Made" It is a flange mount. The front bezel is brass and the back housing looks to be a nickel alloy. The clock is a stem wind. The watch works is unmarked/unlabeled. It doesn't even have import marks. So it is most likely a clock made, and imported before 1936.
But it looks to be in great great physical condition for it's estimated 86 years.
The brass dash flange on this clock is approximately 65 mm in diameter.
The rear case flange is approximately 66 mm in diameter.
The cut-out diameter would have to be approximately 59 mm in diameter
The face is a white porcelain enamel with a flush seconds dial just below top center, and it partially obscures the 12 o'clock position on the dial. The arabic numbers are black and bold, easy to read.
The hands are heavy blued steel, and in very good condition. The minute ticks are set outside of the numbers in a double border track, with heavy square ticks at the 5 minute intervals, and diamond shaped ticks at the 12, 3, 6, & 9, o'clock positions. The only markings on the clock are the words "SWISS MADE" and they flank the number six.
The winding stem seems to be a little short for a dash mount, unless it is mounted very close to the edge of the dash, or mounts in a raised bracket.Perhaps it is a Travel clock that has lost its housing.
If you are a collector of antique/ vintage car clocks, or you are doing a vintage car restoration, and you needs something to dress up the dash, Here ya go !
