The Importance of being unimportant .

There's nothing special about this clock , the case is like so many other mass produced case's made form the lesser Mahogany's with brass columns on brass ball feet  , the works even more so being the kind at one time that flooded the European market at the turn of the 20th Century  and the face a simple affair that has no name  to show who proudly made this beloved family heirloom.
What sets this clock apart is its history unlike any other, this clock so simple and so unimportant looking was handed down to its present owners with the tail that it was given to his father by Admiral of the Fleet Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, KG, GCB, OM, GCSI, GCIE, GCVO,DSO, PC, FRS otherwise know as Lord Mountbatten Viceroy of India . For services rendered whilst he was in the viceroys employment .
Everything has a History weather in time , person or place everything lends something to a piece to give it a character and charm .
