Asprey Rock Crystal and Enamel Hexagonal Prism Clock

With nickel finished lever movement, 15 jewels, translucent blue enamel dial on guilloche background, set within a gold hexagonal case, each side and panels set with translucent blue enamel over guilloche background, diamond set bezel and shaped accents, the back hinged to reveal the two winding holes for setting the time and winding the main going barrel, the whole case held and suspended by four fixed platforms and a rock crystal shaped inverted pyramid, each platform then connected to a two fluted rock crystal columns, one on top of another, with gold and blue enamel capitals and attachments, the four main columns mounted on two rock crystal square plinths, on gold and blue enamel turned feet, accompanied by a matching gold, diamond, enamel and steel winding key case stamped with casemakers initials, hallmarked throughout

A very interesting clock and quite symbolic of the 80's in terms of design, the rock crystal plates and columns with natural occurring inclusions, surface scratches to the gold throughout but none deep and these could be polished smooth, dial is clean, movement is in working order but we would recommend a service before accurate timekeeping. Most unusual and appealing.
