AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Dear Bidders,
Thank you for your interest in my offer.

I'm offering here a space age alarm clock in very good condition for its age and working.

This is a vintage alarm clock by Rhythm, a well-known Japanese clock manufacturer founded in 1950 in Tokyo. Rhythm Clock Co. is internationally recognized for its precision timepieces and high-quality mechanical and quartz movements, supplying both the domestic Japanese market and exports worldwide.

The clock features a distinctive mid-century design, with a polished chrome / red case and stand look, and a striking red dial with applied hour markers, typical of Japanese design from the 1960s–1970s.
Compact yet sculptural, it works well both as a functional alarm clock and as a decorative collectible.

Rhythm clocks are appreciated by collectors for their reliability, solid construction, and timeless design, making this piece a desirable example of vintage Japanese horology.
