Buyer's Premium:

A collection of five miniature quartz desk clocks, primarily featuring crystal and gold-tone metal construction, dating from the late 20th or early 21st century. The lot includes three clocks attributed to Louis Picard, each housed in a clear, faceted crystal or glass case: a large rectangular block, a tall pyramidal obelisk, and a spherical desktop clock. All three Louis Picard examples feature gold-tone bezels, white dials, and are visibly marked LOUIS PICARD. The remaining two clocks are constructed of gold-tone metal. One is a miniature arch-top mantel clock featuring Roman numerals and is inscribed Tempus Fugit, Wellington, and QUARTZ. The final item is a hinged desktop clock designed like a terrestrial globe, with a faceted crystal backing, mounted on a clear base, revealing a Roman numeral dial when opened. The clocks utilize battery-operated quartz movements, typical of modern decorative desk accessories.
