Part of the decoration lies directly in front of the pendulum.

Its floral decoration combines two different glassmaking techniques: the leaves and sweeping stems were moulded into the dome during manufacture, while the flowers were subsequently cut into the glass. Their finely worked petals and textured centres give the floral motifs an especially delicate appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe decoration extends across the curved dome and in places lies directly in front of the dial and pendulum. As the viewing angle changes, the floral motifs on the glass alternate with glimpses of the mechanism behind them. When the clock is running, the movement of the pendulum remains visible between the decorative elements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn original blue textile cord surrounds the base of the glass dome.

In the Bulle Clockette, this task is performed by electrical current, while the pendulum remains the regulating element of the timekeeping system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe coil is located at the lower end of the pendulum.

Its gently curved, almost sculptural wooden case gives it a soft, harmonious presence. The warm brown wood contrasts beautifully with the gold-coloured dial and light hour markers. The clock feels refined yet welcoming, with a feminine lightness that brings calm and style to a room without demanding attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts clear design brings together the distinctive forms of the 1960s and traditional German clockmaking. Placed on a living-room chest of drawers, a dining-room sideboard or a desk, it adds a warm, nostalgic accent.
