tick-tock, tick-tock...literally the sound of time passing!in Paris, I stay in an apartment where the large pendulum of the old standing clock has a particular loud beat and the clock would chime out the hours not once but twice, hour upon hour!...sometimes it truly drove me mad!!
but this little "JAZ" alarm clock has a sweet little tick-tocking...and is in good working condition...[on the back cover, the previous owner has scratched a series of faint numbers, perhaps to secret bank accounts??]

pre-1960's; found at the Porte-de-Vanves flea market;
6 cm round; "bronzy" metal
CAD/US$150/Euros100
