This exquisite Jaeger-LeCoultre clock is decorated with an aquarium-themed design and shows carved fish seaweed ornaments and a starfish on black ground. For the decoration the artist Marina developed a special technique to achieve the three-dimensional effect - cavities were engraved in the acrylic glass and then coloured. Production stopped in 1975 when the artist passed away.
