AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb vintage alarm clock from the famous Philips brand, model Type HR 5272, made in West Germany (W-Germany) in the late 1970s / early 1980s.

This iconic Space Age design model is distinguished by its two-tone case: a sober black front embedded in a bright orange shell typical of the era.

The display is of the "rolling" type (analog-digital), offering a mechanical reading of time full of charm. This alarm clock is equipped with an integrated backlight allowing reading the time in darkness with a warm glow.

Technical features:
- Model: Philips HR 5272
- Origin: West Germany (RFA)
- Power: 220V AC / 50 Hz (3W)
- Functions: Time, Alarm adjustable by side dial.
- Design: Orange and black ABS plastic shell.

Condition:
The item is in very beautiful vintage aesthetic condition. The orange shell has retained its brightness and shine. There are light signs of use appropriate for its age (fine micro-scratches on the plastic), but no major shine wear or cracks. The adjustment knobs and switches are present and functional.

Strengths:
- Design Icon: Perfect for retro, industrial or Space Age decor.
- Philips quality: Robust German manufacturing of the era.
- Desirable color: The orange "pop" is particularly sought after by collectors of 70s objects.

Dimensions:
- Width: approx. 16.5 cm
- Height: approx. 7 cm
- Depth: approx. 9 cm
