JEAN TRANCHANT (1904-1972) Celestial figures or The Volleymakers, very probably unique piece, circa 1930 Rare and interesting modernist clock. Proof in nickel-plated metal. The two figures, treated in cut-out, rest on a platform with a step received by a circular base and support, for the one of the silhouettes, a circle studded with balls forming thus dial and, for the other, a sphere. The central ball hosts, inside, the movement and outside, the hands (not original). Missing a small ball on the circle, hands changed. H. 38 cm Archive: A photograph of our clock (or of an identical model) is preserved in the Thérèse Bonney Fund under the n° BNN01094; managed by the Ministry of Culture - Médiathèque de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine.
