Bonjour! What time is it in France? These fun earrings feature an image copied from an antique page in my collection which has clock faces representing the time differences between 12 o’clock in Washington D. C., and various cities around the world (A. J. Johnson). “Air-line” distances to Washington appear in their centers. This diagram was published in an atlas in the 1860s – before there were standardized time zones!

The pale green Paris clock image shines under glass cabochons in antiqued brass lace-edged settings, with dark vintage clock hands dangling beneath.
