Horological Meandering

I keep hoping that one or more of the manufacturers will unveil new modern and classic, not overwrought, maybe even art deco-ish mechanical desk clocks. Not mantle clocks, not too large Atmos type clocks, but true desk clocks, say 4-6 inch tops. Jaeger Le...

I’m not sure why desk clocks aren’t more popular. I have this vintage LeCoultre clock and very much enjoy winding it twice a week. The feel of winding a clock is decidedly different than winding a watch. ...
