Footnotes
Provenance: The collection of Dr Eugene Antelis.
Tiffany & Co. opened their London store on Regent Street in 1891. Many small silver travelling clocks were made in the run up to the First Great War, but few had the ability to repeat the time to the nearest minute - an expensive, but extremely useful complication.
