Wall Clock - Lowell Space Age Plastic - 1970-1980 - Full Plastic

Lowell “Linea G” – Made in Italy – Vintage Plastic Wall Clock – Electronic M1000 Quartz Movement – Fully Working
A bold and graphic vintage wall clock by Lowell, model “Linea G”, reflecting the expressive Italian design language of the late 1970s / early 1980s. The sculptural rounded case and vibrant blue dial with oversized white oval numerals create a strong visual impact, typical of the Pop-influenced domestic aesthetics of the period.
The case is entirely made of moulded plastic, including the rear housing and internal structure. The thick transparent front cover enhances the depth of the dial while protecting the hands and markers. The overall construction is lightweight yet visually solid, characteristic of Italian plastic design from that era.
The dial is concave and features applied oval hour markers, white hour and minute hands, and a red central seconds hand, ensuring excellent readability. The “LINEA G” marking reinforces the sporty and modern character of the design.
Mechanism
Equipped with an ELECTRONIC M1000 movement – Made in Germany.
This is a genuine battery-powered quartz movement, regulated by a quartz crystal oscillator and stepper motor, providing stable and reliable timekeeping typical of late 20th-century electronic clock production.
Unlike many modern quartz movements, this German-made module features a small calibration screw (trimmer adjustment).
This screw does not mechanically regulate the gear train; instead, it allows fine electronic adjustment of the oscillator frequency. It enables micro-correction of the timekeeping rate in case the clock runs slightly fast or slow. The adjustment range is limited and intended for precise fine-tuning rather than major correction.
The movement has been fully tested and is perfectly working, keeping time accurately.
Battery compartment is clean and intact.
