Description from the seller

Spectacular vintage Brutalist-style desk clock designed by the renowned Scottish sculptor David Marshall during his time in Spain (circa the 1980s). This exquisite piece of functional art stands out for its iconic material contrast, combining a heavy textured cast-aluminum outer frame with a central dial in polished brass. The design features suggestive geometric lines engraved to resemble sun rays converging toward the hands. A powerful Brutalist sculpture—perfect for sophisticated interiors and 20th-century design collectors.
