Description from the seller
Japy Wall Clock – France – Late 1970s / Early 1980s – Pop Design
Distinctive vintage wall clock by Japy, featuring a bold and highly graphic design inspired by a classic rotary telephone dial. The circular layout with oversized numerals set in individual white capsules creates a strong visual rhythm, enhanced by the contrasting grey background and the central striped dial.
The flat red hands, perfectly integrated into the overall composition, add a vibrant pop accent and reinforce the unmistakable late 1970s / early 1980s aesthetic, bridging functional object and decorative design piece.
The transparent plastic dome gives depth and a slightly futuristic feel, typical of the transition from Space Age to early postmodern design.
Fully made of plastic.
Condition:
The clock is in very good vintage condition.
Fully functional and tested for over one month, keeping accurate time.
Battery compartment is clean.
Only minor signs of age and use, consistent with its vintage nature.
Dimensions:
21 x 21 cm
Depth: 4 cm
Weight: approx. 350 grams
Before listing, it has been carefully cleaned, tested, and documented with detailed photographs All functions mentioned in the description have been tested and verified and will be checked again before shipment as a final quality control.
Please note that colors, tones, and reflections may appear slightly different in person depending on lighting conditions, camera settings, and individual screen calibration. Photographs are taken under controlled light to show the item as accurately as possible and form an integral part of the description.
Due to the age and original mechanical electronic components, minor variations in timekeeping accuracy or performance may occur over time, even if the clock is fully functional at the time of testing.
The item will be professionally packed with appropriate protection, suitable for a vintage clock.

Seller's Story
A lifelong vintage and design enthusiast, I’m fascinated by objects with geometric shapes — triangular, pyramidal, spherical — that you can touch, use, and truly experience. They tell the story of evolving style from futurism to modern times. I collect and offer vintage plastics, electronics, vinyl records, and table or wall clocks (flip, quartz, transistor, mechanical).
Every piece I sell is tested, cleaned, and carefully presented. I don’t believe in “untested” items — everything I list truly works. My photos and descriptions are detailed to ensure transparency and buyer confidence.
