AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Iconic Junghans ATO-MAT S design clock – Space Age transparent design (the 1970s)

Beautiful and rare design clock from the renowned German brand Junghans. This is the ATO-MAT S electronic model, a characteristic example of futuristic Space Age design from the 1970s.

The clock immediately catches the eye with its transparent acrylic housing, in which the movement seems to float. The combination of the deep blue dial, minimalist dot indices, and the contrasting red second hand gives the whole piece a strong graphic and timeless character. The metal axle running through the clock reinforces the industrial, modern feel.

This model is equipped with a battery-powered electronic movement (ATO-MAT system), which at the time was an innovative step toward modern timekeeping. The clock runs on batteries and is therefore practical in use.

Features:
- Brand: Junghans
- Model: ATO-MAT S electronic
- Period: ca. the 1970s
- Origin: Germany
- Material: acrylic (plexiglass), metal
- Drive: battery (electronic)
- Design style: Space Age / Mid-century modern

Condition:
In nice vintage condition with light signs of use appropriate to its age. The acrylic shows minimal scratches but remains clear and presents very well. (See photos for a good impression.)

Dimensions:
Height: 23 cm
Length: 21 cm
Width: 12 cm

A true eye-catcher and collectible for lovers of vintage design, retro interiors, and iconic German clock technology.

Carefully packaged and insured shipping.
