用于奥斯曼市场的磁性神秘钟;法国,约 1880 年。 镀金青铜、黄铜和白色金属(锡镴),绿玛瑙底座。 配有磁性机芯、辅助表盘、温度计和气压计。 大修过。工作状态良好。 有签名。君士坦丁堡的皮格马利翁。 尺寸:35 x 35 x 16 厘米:35 x 35 x 16 厘米。 这枚特殊的神秘手表制作于 19 世纪末,表盘上有 A. Pygmalion 的签名,从技术和美学角度来看都是一件令人着迷的作品。它是在君士坦丁堡制造的法国产品,面向高雅的奥斯曼市场,在那里,奢侈的科学和装饰品享有极高的声誉。 该表款的灵感来源于让-尤金-罗伯特-胡丹(Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin)著名的 "空中 "腕表,它采用了一种巧妙的磁力装置,这也是其神秘之处的核心所在。磁铁悄无声息地驱动调节器的钢制表盘,进而将机芯传送至隐藏在表盘后的时间系统,营造出指针在无形中移动的错觉。这种介于制表工艺和幻觉之间的发明反映了当时的惊奇精神和精湛技术。 时钟还配有温度计和气压计辅助表盘,使其不仅成为一件装饰品,同时也是一件科学仪器。这种功能组合突出了十九世纪将知识、精确度和美感融为一体的兴趣。 有关这位制表大师的文献资料非常稀少,这更加凸显了这件作品的稀有性;然而,有证据表明,在德鲁奥(Drouot)出售的一款带有会唱歌的鸟的手表上也有皮格马利翁(A. Pygmalion)的签名,这表明这款手表的产量非常有限,而且可能是独家生产。一切都表明,这件作品可能是独一无二的。 这枚腕表经过精心修复,其机械装置经过全面检修,保证了其功能的正确性和完好性。
