Petite Neuchâteloise…

Hello Friends,

I just wanted to share a clock we not often see here: Petite Neuchâteloise.

What separates this one from other clocks is that this one is not an alarm clock with an alarm.

This clock is more of a music box, when the alarm goes off it plays a little tune!

Painted Roman numerals and gilded Louis XV hands.

Lacquered case.

With painted floral decor.

Two tones music alarm, circa 1950.

Here are a couple of other versions I found in a catalogue, I have also seen it in blue.

Anybody seen any other versions?

Branded JAEGER, with a 2 days movement.

Speaking of JAEGER, have you ever seen a sticker like this?

The text is in Swedish and if you translate it word by word it says:

“One eye on the engine”.

But my guess is that the meaning is more in the spirit of:

“One eye on the motor” as in motor vehicle or cars.

As we know Jaeger did a lot of car/aeroplane clocks and tachometers.

It’s made in the Nederland and marked on the back:

FasCal Fasson Leiden Holland Vinyl S-277.

Anybody knows when JLC stopped branding themselves as JAEGER?

It would be interesting to know from which year the sticker is…

Best
