Description from the seller

Seiko QXN206GT Quartz Table Clock – Rotating Pyramid – Japanese Postmodern Design – SKP Japan Movement
An exceptional and highly decorative Seiko QXN206GT table clock, representing the refined aesthetics of Japanese Postmodern design from the 1990s.
This remarkable clock combines minimalist Japanese styling with bold geometric architecture. The transparent acrylic body, enriched with engraved optical patterns, surrounds a striking metallic rotating pyramid that continuously creates fascinating reflections and an impressive kinetic visual effect.
Unlike conventional decorative clocks, this model features a removable clock module fitted with a genuine Seiko SKP Quartz Japan movement. The internal rotating pyramid is powered by its own independent mechanism, transforming the clock into both a functional timepiece and a captivating decorative sculpture.
Its architectural composition recalls the Postmodern and Neo Art Deco movements, making it an ideal piece for collectors of Japanese design, Memphis-inspired interiors, Space Age décor and unusual Seiko creations.
The clock has been fully tested and is in perfect working order. Both the quartz movement and the rotating internal pyramid operate correctly.
A video showing the clock in operation is available at:

Condition
Vintage condition with normal signs of age and use consistent with its age. The ABS plastic case shows light wear from time, while the transparent acrylic body remains free from structural cracks. Please carefully examine all photographs, as they form an integral part of the description.

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.
