Looks like a magnetic car watch for the dash board. Very interesting find.

I saw one of those a few months ago.  Cool looking.... I think Stephen thought it was the car clock at that time as well!  Hah... the red dial is really sweet in that thing.

This is a car clock and this particular one has been making the rounds on EBay for a few months now.  Good luck finding a stem for it, you'll probably have to have one made.

Mark, any other photos of the movement? I'm curious to see if this has a size 17 movement or not.

Was thinking the same 17AH, but how would it run for 8 Days?

Key wound?...
