A fine gift

A truly remarkable creation from the 20th century, this Important Oversized Jaeger-LeCoultre “Marina” 8-Day Desk Clock stands as one of the most distinctive and collectible artworks ever produced by the maison. Rarely encountered in this large format, the clock blends traditional horology with refined artistic expression, elevating it far beyond a functional timepiece into a sculptural masterpiece.

The front panel features a striking ethnic-inspired dancing motif, attributed to the artistic vision associated with J.L. Gultry, whose decorative style is renowned for its rhythmic lines, stylized figures and deep cultural resonance. The scene depicts dancers arranged in a fluid, harmonious composition, capturing movement with a powerful sense of grace and vitality. Their silhouettes—elongated, elegant, and full of expressive motion—evoke themes of ritual, celebration, and ancestral artistry, making this clock a true piece of cultural storytelling.

The “Marina” series has long been admired for its artistic panels, yet this dancing theme is among the most coveted. Its unique iconography, bold contrasts, and sculptural surface create a visual depth that draws the eye from every angle. Rare even in standard dimensions, it becomes exceptionally desirable in this oversized version, which dramatically enhances the presence of the artwork and showcases the precision of the 8-day Jaeger-LeCoultre mechanical movement.

Such clocks seldom appear on the market, especially in this rare large size and with such a powerful ethnic artistic panel untouched by time. For collectors of Jaeger-LeCoultre, mid-century decorative arts, or culturally inspired design objects, this piece is considered a pinnacle of collectability—a convergence of fine watchmaking, sculptural art, and aesthetic heritage.

This is not merely a desk clock, but an important, museum-worthy artwork, combining rarity, cultural depth, and mechanical prestige. A standout addition to any serious collection of 20th-century horology or decorative arts.
