A rare find these large size clocks are the ultimate trophy for the collector of Rolex ephemera. They were manufactured Manufactured for Pan Am or Pan American World Airlines by the Hanover Manufacturing, Inc. in Ohio, licensed by Rolex. Available with or without the Pan Am logo these clocks were used in the offices of Pan Am, at airport check in desks and perhaps also at Rolex retailers as advertisement for the collaboration between the two firms, resulting in the creation of the celebrated GMT-Master in the mid-1950s.
