Unusual, novelty desk clock made as a promotional item for Ford Motor Company in Sweden. Dating form the 1940s.

The dial of the clock bears the image of the Ford factory in Stockholm, Sweden and incorporates and small semi-circular window which has a revolving disc behind it. This disc is printed with a miniature image of a Ford V.8. car and with the text, "En Ford v.8 Var 10de. Sekund I Världen" (translates as "A Ford V.8 made every 10th Second in the World"). The clock has a chrome plated bezel, is wound and set from behind and is fitted with a metal wire prop (possibly a later replacement). Good condition (slight surface wear to chrome). Working order.

Inventory No. M-314
