A career-defining moment for Wildfowler, they won the race by overtaking the favourite, Jeddah, just inside the final furlong and finishing four lengths ahead.

The dial layout is reminiscent of \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJaeger LeCoultre Reverso\u003c\/em\u003e designs from the same period, which was recently reintroduced by the brand in various configurations. The dial of the clock well-preserved, with the blued-steel hands and painted numerals having developed a warm patina, which beautifully complement the creamy tone of the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centralised thermometer is labelled in Celsius, indicating that this model was likely made for the European market. As with many thermometers from this period, the temperature is only visible at a certain angle, specifically when viewed from the left hand side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barometer measures the air pressure around it, allowing one to forecast short-term changes in the weather. Especially when travelling, one can imagine that knowing the temperature and predicting changes in the weather would prove particularly useful - you wouldn’t want to get caught in a thunderstorm without the proper attire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular type of barometer uses a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell, which is made from an alloy of beryllium and copper. Small changes in external air pressure cause the cell to expand or contract, with the information displayed on the dial. This example also features a manually set needle which is used to mark the current measurement, so that a change can be observed (set through a screwdriver on the dial side). The barometer is labelled in French, with predictions varying from storm to very dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe case\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the dark brown alligator case is in very good condition considering its age, with a small section having pealed away on the inner section (invisible when the clock is standing up). The rich, dark brown colour of the case brings out the cream tone and warm patina of the dials, lending a certain charm to this \u003cem\u003eJaeger LeCoultre Weather Station\u003c\/em\u003e.

Over time it has developed a beautiful iridescent effect, which has resulted in a darker colour with a hint of purple, gold and teal, adding to its overall vintage feel. If required, we are able to polish the piece to return it to its original silver, upon request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking on a long, rectangular shape with a pleasingly curved silhouette, the paper clip is stamped with ‘Hermès Paris’ on the base and is decorated with an elegant cast horse head on the top, adding some flair and fanfare to an otherwise relatively functional object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA talking-point desk accessory for any office set up, this unmistakably Hermès piece is sure to enhance and uplift your nine-to-five.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHermès\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eObject:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003esilver money clip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHermès\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003espur shape, silver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e32mm x 46mm (59mm including the top)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eEra:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003ec. 1950s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCondition\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Hermès paper or book holder remains in good condition, with minimal signs of wear.
