Eye of Time Desk Clock

This small and portable timepiece is an authentic replica of the desk watch created in Regency London. The intrepid watchmaker of the time was trying to combine a travel clock that needs to be small while easy to read, in candle light. The result was a fine desk watch like this one with lenses that double as magnifying glasses (to read maps and light the cooking fire on safari, one must assume). Features a clock face on the front and a fixed compass face on the rear. Solid brass case. 3.1" x 2.6"; instructions included.
