AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Extremely rare neon wall clock from Present Time – Postmodern Memphis-style, ca. 1985-1995
An impressive and exceptionally rare piece from the heyday of postmodernism. This wall clock is a textbook example of Memphis Milano-inspired design, with a sleek black square frame serving as a dramatic backdrop for the graphic elements.
The clock is characterized by the unique “lightning” shaped white hands and two sharp, architectural neon tubes in contrasting red and white. Unlike many other neon clocks, this specific geometric composition is rarely on the market, making it a true collector’s item for lovers of 80s and 90s interior design.
Brand: Present Time
Style: Postmodern / Memphis
Period: ca. 1985-1995
Dimensions: approximately 38.5 x 38.5 cm x 8 cm
Condition: good vintage condition. The neon lighting works perfectly and emits a bright, even glow. The black frame and the clock mechanism are in good used condition (see photos for details).
Power: Includes original cord.
A real eyecatcher for any modern interior or high-end design collection.
