Necklace with Mexican agate plates. Necklace made with cords in different shades that are used to arrange and highlight the beads it is made of: flat circular discs alternate with dark spherical beads, highlighting the lines of the former; in front there is a triangular piece, in which the white and transparent areas alternate with red, yellow, white, etc. areas. Agate has been a common stone throughout history due to the properties attributed to it (the Egyptian one was effective against the bites of certain animals, the stone in general provided longevity in other cultures, etc.) and for its attractiveness (often used both in sculptures and in Egyptian mummies for the eyes, carved to create notable pieces such as the Valencia Chalice or the cameos of Ancient Rome, etc.).

Adjustable programmer for “Pulsynetic” watches, chiming. Gent's of Leicester, England, circa second third of the 20th century. Good overall condition. The glass-fronted wooden box protects the mechanism and allows the various “wheels” and dials of the mechanism to be seen. In certain electrically-driven clocks, this box is used to coordinate all the slaves connected to the master so that the chime of bells rings simultaneously on all the components of the system. Apparently, and because of the reliability of the system, it has often been used in British schools and similar institutions. The company that created the mechanism was founded in 1872 by John Thomas Gent, and GTGent & Co. was one of the first to make electric chimes in England. After several changes, the company changed its name to Gent & Co., and was soon joined by AEJ Ball and began producing an electric clock system, later known as “Pul-syn-etic”. Weight: 15 kg.
