Someone paid over a quarter of a million for a table clock
A pricey gift for under the Christmas tree. But the Ulysse Nardin table clock is something very special.
Place this table clock somewhere in your living room for decoration and it will undoubtedly grab the attention of visitors. But do those visitors know how to put a price tag on it? They will undoubtedly have no idea what they are looking at and what exactly it is worth. It might therefore come as a shock when you realize that the Ulysse Nardin table clock has the value of a terraced house.
You can hold this clock upside down, shake it or whatever. The product will not deviate from time. The Ulysse Nardin table clock is so precisely assembled that the time can be kept very accurately. The thing weighs 7.25 kg. You can feel it when you have it in your hands.
The timepiece was made for the Christie’s Only Watch auction. Interested parties could make an offer on the Ulysse Nardin table clock and that was certainly done. The highest bid ended at 380,000 Swiss francs. Converted, that equates to an amount of more than 360,000 euros. The auction was earlier this month and the buyer will probably give the special clock a nice spot.
