For Only Watch 2009 French luxury goods house Hermès has come out with something a bit different than all the unique wristwatches on offer: a beautiful table clock finished in the world's finest saddle-stitched burgundy alligator skin, over several layers of leather. The 1930s-inspired clock has a stainless steel chassis measuring 175 mm high by 150 mm wide and 37 mm thick, with an easel back also covered in saddle-stitched alligator. It features black nickel indexes and hands, and comes in a red lacquer case. The clock's movement is a Swiss mechanical 8 day power reserve caliber 51 with 15 jewels, beating at 18,000 bph.
