André-Romain GUILMET (1827-1892) Lighthouse clock with movement in the shape of a nautical lighthouse. Weather station circa 1890: pendulum, barometer and two thermometers. Brass and bronze, polished, silvered on black marble base. A production of Guilmet, part of the series of "mysterious industrial clocks". A second mechanism in the base turns the upper part. The mechanisms work, the clock keeps the time well. Particularity of this model: the very finely worked hands, always on the nautical theme. H : 67 cm Bibliography : Model referenced with patent in the book Mystery, Novelty, And Fantasy Clocks by Derek Roberts
