Model T1 Iconic Mid-Century Modern Secticon clock by Angelo Mangiarotti. Swiss Precision Portescap electro-mechanical movement. 9.25" high, 4.75" globular head. Fine original condition - professionally restored movement in perfect operating order. $975 NOTE: During the late 1950s acclaimed Italian architect and urban designer Angello Mangiarotti introduced the Secticon range of clocks. T1 is the first model. These clocks feature innovative molded plastic cases. Portescap movements with precision escapements were manufactured for the Secticon line by Le Porte-Echappement Universal (Universal Escapements Ltd). The Portescap movement is contained in a clear plastic housing. It utilizes a D-cell battery to drive a small electric motor, which runs continuously at about 1000 rpm. By an ingenious arrangement, this motor drives the escapement; a unique type of remontoire lever beating half seconds. The clock will run for over a year before the battery is exhausted.
