Description from the seller
Rare Mauthe built-in alarm clock from the 1930s - WORKING - Original Box - German Art Deco
Description of the Item
For sale an exceptional vintage piece: mechanical built-in alarm clock produced by the historic manufacturer Mauthe (Germany), dating from the late 1930s.
The item is not only a display piece but is fully functional, preserving the charm of the original mechanical ticking from nearly a century ago.
Technical Details and Conditions:
State: Working. The manual-wind mechanical movement responds well; the hands and the alarm mechanism are operational.
Aesthetics: Rectangular Art Deco-style dial with two-tone graphics (cream and dark red) well preserved. Shiny chrome frame and intact glass.
Mechanism: Visible from the side, in original brass with manual adjustments on the back.
Rarity: Sold with its original cardboard box (No. 191 W Wecker), a detail very hard to find that certifies its authenticity and provenance.
Historical Context: The box bears the original period label (Germany 1930s/40s) with period-era symbolism.
Why buy it?
It is an ideal piece for:
- Watch/clock collectors: An example of high-quality German Mauthe construction.
- Militaria/History enthusiasts: A civilian object contemporary to the wartime period, complete with original packaging.
- Interior Design: An authentic vintage detail for desks, bookshelves, or vintage cars.
Chime: "The alarm chime is loud and precise."
