This is a Jefferson Golden Hour clock. The hands are mounted on glass, and the glass rotates via a motor in the base. If the glass is clean, it appears as if the hands are suspended in mid-air. It's a very clever design and striking in its styling. It's somewhat valuable, particularly if it's working. Unfortunately these things are finicky and they often do not.

It's another frustating clock because it just does not want to keep running. I'm not sure if it's just got a short life or it simply doesn't like my house, but the Old Man worked on it three times and I can't keep it going more than a couple months.

This is not the best photo I've ever taken, but it's the best that I can do now. The reflection on the glass above the minute hand isn't normally visible, but the camera flash picks up a lot of things that aren't normally visible in softer, ambient light.

Acquired: from my father around 2014 (don't know when he got it).

Current condition: does not run.
