The Stranger, 1946, directed by Orson Wells... actually a good movie..clocks are featured in the plot interestingly...

(streams on Netflix)



Now, what is that above Orson's shoulder?  Hammond?

Probably set up with the recessed "clock outlet" and hanger behind.

It says "Gruen" on the dial.  They made wristwatches, but did they make commercial clocks too?

That looks right.  As cool as that clock is, it weighs a ton and being a Hammond, you have to take it off the wall to start it.   <:[

  .. I'm guessing the 371 Auburn, instead of the 323 Petite.  The Auburn has a silvered glass crystal...  I'm wondering if that is causing the slight obscuration of the 1 and 2 numerals ? -    white lacquer ? 

nice pic from the telly

  I see your point - just looking at the 2, 400% zoom - wonderin' if the bezel alone would encroach that far in or not... ?  *=*

@^? @^? @^?  wow.. a great B&W flick.. but a shocking fun Telechron treat:  1935's "The Star of Midnight" with William Powell and Ginger Rogers.  I tape the Sat night late TCM B&W films - usually pretty good.. woke up and  (%$

About 1 minute in, the 2nd scene is a full frame closeup of the 530 Nottingham !!  What a thrill !   It has 2 scenes, almost a full-frame picture, and then a 2nd a bit backgroun on the table.  But the fun continues..  with a 453 Denmore in Powell's kitchen, and (a bit more guessing here.. you help me out...) a 7H83 Mentor alarm clock on Powell's night stand.. kinda wonder if these were Powell favorites or the prop guys...  The scene on the Nottingham is so long, and so good, you can see its second hand move for 4 seconds..  

I had to do the "Today-then" color_B&W thing ... just had to  }^*
Another 530 Nottingham in today's TCM showing of the 1934 "Murder on the Blackboard" with Edna Mae Oliver playing amateur detective Hildegarde Withers -
