Up for sale is an exceptionally rare, authentic vintage Jaeger 8-Day mechanical dashboard clock dating from the late 1920s to early 1930s. This premium Swiss-American instrument is a highly sought-after factory component for Concours-level classic car restorations. Unlike most surviving gauges from this era, this timepiece is fully functional and keeps good time (was only tested for approximately 3) as I didn’t want to wind it up to tight.
