AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Flash (Deposited Model), a true example of vintage Italian design from the 1970s. This model stands out for its creative and bold dial: instead of the classic numbers, the hours are indicated graphically with Italian textual phrases (e.g., "Le Ore Sette", "Le Undici") enclosed in white contrasting circles on a wood-effect background.
The circular case is made of painted iron in a vivid ochre yellow, perfect for adding a Space Age or Pop Art touch to any environment. The dial is protected by an original domed glass that gives depth and character to the piece.
Main Features:
• Brand: Flash (Deposited Model).
• Period: 1970s.
• Material: Painted iron frame yellow, domed glass.
• Dimensions: Diameter 20 cm.
• Condition: Excellent vintage aesthetic condition. The yellow paint retains a nice gloss with minimal signs of wear that attest to its originality.
• Functioning: The clock is working. The rear mechanism (visible in photo) is original to the period and Made in France.
A unique piece of decor, ideal for clock collectors or lovers of vintage interior design.
