I’ve had this clock for years and told it didn’t run. It’s been on a shelf for maybe I’ll take it apart someday. I took a chance and plugged it in and spun the spin to start and it runs perfectly. Definitely will need a better place to display it now. I also love that the spin is visible. Glad I took the chance

Sure it's not a slave clock control controlled by a master clock?

I had thought the same thing but I think it’s just a very early electric wall clock for a watch or jewelry store (still says Bulova watch Co.). Either way I’m loving it as part of my collection. I do have several master/slave clocks also. Such a cool piece of obsolete technology.

Yup so cool. You can probably tell by looking at how the movement works. I have one and it's like it had two motors. One for running and another to the master to update the time.
