Cartier

Never all at once

 

dje,

Thanks for the photo report.

I've seen one or two of the clocks at various exhibitions around the world or at rue de La Paix but never so many  in one place.

Of course, I do NOT thank you for revealing the secret of the mystery smile

Now, the magic is gone sniff sniff sniff.........

 

BTW, Robert-Houdin was a hero of mine as a boy; many of his magical secrets were in my Big Book of Magic smile

I did not know he was a watchmaker or of such a family; that explains the mechanical nature of many of his tricks.

 

Regards,

MTF

Thanks for the report Jerome

Here is a Mystery clock I was lucky enough to examine up close. These things are much heavier than they look! - SJX...  

I guess they are heavy indeed!

Hi SJX, I guess they are as heavy to carry as light to look at! Quality has its weight often! Cheers Dje

Lots of favorites here...
