A noble bronze elephant transports time itself in this magnificent and rare clock by royal jewelers Asprey & Company. An exceptional timepiece in all manner of its construction, the clock is comprised of a brilliant mother-of-pearl face set into a gold and onyx bezel studded with rubies and aquamarines. It rides in a splendidly stylized houdah, or litter, which exhibits a stunning array of intricate, Eastern-inspired carving. Decorated with more rubies and aquamarines in exceptional gold settings, from engraved medallions and flowing leaves to swaying pendants, the houdah is carried with ease by the mighty pachyderm, who boasts ivory tusks and wears his own ornaments of diamond studded anklets and headdress. A wonder from
