Rolex. A rare and unusual gilt brass and painted hoof-shaped display desk clock with stop feature and original box

The present "sabot", French for "hoof" clock, named after its shape, is a fine example of these rare "Time to the Second" Rolex display clocks leant to dealers as an advertising tool to demonstrate the precision of Rolex movements. The lever at 6 o'clock allows to stop the seconds hand in order to set the time to the second.

This "Time to the Second" is preserved in very good overall condition, still retaining the original wooden presentation box.
