Philips Type HR 5272 flip clock in orange and black ABS plastic, manufactured in West Germany, 220 V powered, in good used condition with light signs of wear and in working order.
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
