Unusual LeCoultre Duoface clock
I have this unusual art deco table clock that I have never seen anywhere else and can't find any information about anywhere on the internet either-
8cm high, the clock is signed LeCoultre (not Jaeger LeCoultre) on one side of its stone/ marble base, and Duoface on the other. Also has LeCoultre Swiss on the base. Has a set of two dials on either side of its octagonal body that can be individually set to two different time zones and a tiny Swiss under both the 12's on the dials. It winds from underneath with a small carriage clock style key, and goes 8 days.
Any information on the clock would be appreciated, including its year of manufacture? Approx value?
I was for a long time under the impression this clock must be made before Le Coultre tied up with Jaeger, but recently read on the company website that pieces signed only LeCoultre were sold in the N American market till as recently as 1985, after which they have started signing all pieces Jaeger Le Coultre.

The answer
Unfortunately, I don't have these 2 vintage books. I have re-used 2 illustrations extracted from an auction catalog, that was dedicated to JLC. The auction took place in Paris in 2003 and the catalog is a great resource for JLC watches as some of them are...
Just took more pics....
I just took some more detailed pictures of the clock. Yes, I too feel this is a really unusual JLC piece, and am quite surprised to learn it will have been made all the way back in the 1930's. I am surprisingly unable to find any numbers on it, anywhere, ...
