  LE CHATEAU D' OLERO II
 It first served as a monastery, looming high
above France's Bay of Biscay. The early
monks who lived there were pious, prayerful
?? and also distilled some of the best
brandies in the Bordeaux region. In its
second life, the site was transformed into a
rambling estate for the Olero family, and
brandy gave way to fine wines, with a tasting
room located high in the domed apse that
topped the basilica. Though you can't
accompany today's villagers as they
occaionally stumble across remnants of cork
and cask, you can raise a toast with this
Moment in Time clock that celebrates the
spirit of grand architecture.
Beautifully produced with fade-resistant inks,
this 25" antique dial is carefully mounted on a
laser-cut, 1/4" thick panel base, then secured
into an aged polystone frame finished in
Rustic Umber.
Quartz, battery operated movement.
