This incredible Kilburg Geochron Clock is LEGENDARY in the clock world. Meticulously handcrafted, the Geochron is a rare fusion of art and science, and the only mechanical geographic chronometer ever made. From 1962-2007, Geochron was based in Redwood City, CA, supported by machinists and contractors in the San Francisco area (1987 New York Times article). In a day before the internet, the Geochron was really the only way to represent the Sunrise / Sunset in real time on Earth. It was a big hit, all the way to White House. These clocks are status symbols and have been seen in films, museums, scientific displays and high finance board rooms for decades. One hangs in the White House as well.This clock has been a part of my family for years and is in perfect working order. I took photos of it outside in proper light so that you can see the incredible mahogany wood that makes up the frame. This is the REAL WOOD edition of their clock. If you want, feel free to google Kilburg Geochron and go onto the companies website and see how much the Mechanical Real Wood edition sells for.... spoilers... it retails for $3,795.00! I think my asking price is very fair. This particular example works exactly as it should, is bright and beautiful to look at and keeps accurate time, and I mean ACCURATE! Only selling to help finance a family project, otherwise I would never dream of selling this incredible time piece. Measures 35" x 23" x 6". (Condition: Pre-Owned)
