I’ve finally bought myself my first clock - an ATO electric clock from the mid 20th century, with this beautiful hammered effect backboard and domed acrylic front. Very evocative of the domed plexiglass seen on watches of the period.
This watch recently came to us for a service and to replace a cracked crystal. The Venus 150 was produced from the late 1930s through to the 60s, and I suspect this Gallet example in a clamshell case was made in the 1940s.
