A marvelous object to behold, this rare clochette style jumping hour “Clarté” pocket watch by Hermes, circa 1940s in solid silver wrapped in brown pig skin, is one of the most interesting things to come across my desk, with two rotating enamel disks displaying the hour and minutes, folding latch that secures ever so satisfyingly is as fun to operate as it looks. It’s Meylan manual wind caliber is running well.
