LeCoultre Alarm Clock

Partially verified

This desk alarm clock by LeCoultre is documented by Fellows Auctioneers as featuring a manual-wind movement inside a 70mm base metal case. The timepiece is fitted with a cream dial bearing the LeCoultre signature below the 12 position and 'SWISS MADE' along the lower edge. Large stylised Arabic numerals mark the hours alongside an inner track for minutes, with an encircled numeral '2' printed above 6 o'clock. Baton hands display the time, and a top shut-off button sits above the round case mounted on an arched base.
