French Early Electric Clockette by Bulle
This petite clockette crafted by Bulle of France is an early and innovative electric clock dating to the turn of the 20th century. Maurice Favre-Bulle is heralded as the mind behind this captivating electromagnetic timepiece, conceived just before the onset of World War One. This clock represents an advancement of a concept initially pioneered by the Scottish electric timekeeping visionary Alexander Bain in 1843.
Powered by an early battery-driven mechanism, this clock operates with a magnetic coil pendulum oscillating gracefully from side to side. Encased within a luxurious ensemble of green Italian marble and brass and adorned with beveled glass panels, the clock is elegant and sophisticated in style. The time displays upon a brass dial with Arabic numerals and the signature “Bulle Clockette, Breveté S.D.G.D., Patented.”
This lovely early electric clock is a testament to the marriage of artistry and innovation and an excellent example of the enduring allure of finely crafted timepieces.
This clock bears a complete restoration and a one-year warranty.
