Contemporary Bicchelli Quarts Desk Clock Spiral Brass Italy. Fine bicchelli quartz desk clock in gold tone spiral shape. As with all Italian Bicchelli?s, they keep immaculate time. Battery operated with a metal cover to hide inner mechanisms and battery. Tested and working. Needs new battery. This item will ship to you without a battery as I use this one as a tester for my Italian, German, and French desk clocks. You won?t find another Bicchelli at this price. We take great pride in the love and care we put into packaging our products to insure your own arrives to you in the same condition it left us in.
