- Lot Description
Hora Grandiosa. Hamburg: Bartl & Willmann, ca. 1927. Pocket watches are produced in the magician’s hands, then hung in the nickel-plated stand. The front and rear doors are closed, yet when reopened a giant ringing alarm clock has appeared in place of the watches, with its alarm sounding upon its appearance. Height 28 ¼". RARE.
This is the largest in a series of pocket watch and alarm clocks manufactured by the great pre-war German magic factory of Bartl. Bartl manufactured four variants of this prop in the pre-war years, but very few examples have survived.
