thanks for th love, AmberRose and timeless5......
Hi, serafin! I have a smaller, a much smaller version of this clock sculpture. It can sit on a couple of "faces": one that makes it a paperweight, the other a desk clock. Can you reverse the position of the clock? Can you lay it in a variety of ways? I think it is amazing! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Thank you vetario50,yes i can reverse the position of the clock,but i can not lay the clock another way.
It's a great surrealist object!
a classic object of the period.
I love the cut comb work at the top.

The movement on mine, a "pendulette" looks similar but is by ImHof.
Are you sure there is not a script Schneider on the piece somewhere?
I'll look more closely but I think that only has an old paper lable that read (Schneider Paris France)
