sunburst clock

The French jeweler Cartier has always spared no effort in debuting the best watches for the mass. Untill now eleven understated watch models with complicated movements have been launched into the market, which is an honorable move. All these splendid timepieces produced by Cartier can be regarded as a spectacular combination of intricate functions, superior machinery as well as great aesthetics.

Manufacuted in 1904, the Cartier Santos watch collection is considered as the iconic watch model of Cartier. A stratum of awe-inspiring righteousness is incorporated into the design. The application of Roman numerals in manufacturing the watches seems to break away from the traditional way of displaying the time, yet it shed new light into the watches. How fantastic it is to see time markings become part of the movement! This distinctive design has filed for patent.

Another classic timepiece is the Cartier Rotonde de Cartier single push-piece tourbillon chronograph that is an infusion of single button chronograph and tourbillon. It has become the classic work and a great creation in the history of watchmaking. The dial features exquisite guilloche pattern and skeleton design. The sapphire crystal case back offers a clear view of the movement.

The 9452 MC movement is an Cartier iconic movement stamped with the Geneva seal. The Cartier Tank Américaine Flying Tourbillon showcases the C-shaped Tourbillon case at 6 o'clock position. The free flowing tourbillon revolves at a frequency of about sixty minutes without the fetters of the bridge. Through the tourbillon cage, you can see most of the inner structure and the Geneva seal. The Roman Numerals are also presented on the skeleton bridges.

With brainstaking efforts and growing interest into manufacturing, the Panthère secrète de Cartier is a watch of excellence. The panther face has mysterious yet majestic eyes made of tourmaline. Beneath the face, there hides square dial featuring sunburst guilloche.

When was the sunburst clock created?


I'd like to know if the sunburst was as popular i nthe 50s as it was i nthe 60s, if it was around in the 50s.

George Nelson Associates created the first clocks for Howard Miller in 1947. It is estimated that there are over 150 designs. The first creation was "Clock 4755" (Ball Clock). All clocks were electrical. Electrical wall clocks were available with a cord & plug or as a "Chronopak" which mounted in a standard outlet box.
