AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original vintage G&G wall clock dating from the 1970s, featuring a distinctive Space Age design.
The large circular case is made of dark blue moulded plastic with a sculptural, three-dimensional profile. It is complemented by a cream-coloured inner surround and a chrome-finished ring. The unusual white, red and black dial creates a bold geometric composition typical of 1970s Pop and Space Age design.
The hours are displayed with large black Arabic numerals, while the red and white markers improve readability. Black hour and minute hands are accompanied by a slim red seconds hand. The dial is protected by genuine domed glass, which further enhances the clock’s visual depth.
The clock retains its original electromechanical transistor movement, powered by one 1.5 V C/R14 battery. The movement and battery compartment are clean and show no signs of oxidation.
The clock has been tested and is in perfect working order.
The rare original period box is also included. The box shows wear, deformation and age-related deterioration, as clearly shown in the photographs.
Dimensions
Dial diameter: approximately 20 cm
Front frame diameter: approximately 27 cm
Maximum rear diameter resting against the wall: approximately 31 cm
Depth: approximately 7 cm
Condition
The clock is in excellent vintage condition, without cracks or significant structural damage. Only minimal signs consistent with age and normal use are present. The chrome-finished surface and domed glass may display very light age-related marks, visible in the photographs.
The battery shown in the photographs was used for testing purposes only and is not included in the sale.
Seller's Notice
This is a vintage electronic timepiece.
The clock is carefully tested before shipment to confirm correct functionality at the time of dispatch. Due to its age and the nature of vintage electronic components, future maintenance, servicing or adjustment may be required.
Minor timekeeping deviations may occur depending on factors such as battery quality, battery charge level and the natural ageing of electronic components. Any small rate variations can be easily corrected using the original regulation screw provided on the movement.
Photographs form an integral part of the description and accurately represent the condition of the clock at the time of listing. By placing a bid, the buyer confirms that all images have been carefully reviewed and accepts the item as described.
Colours may appear slightly different depending on screen settings, device calibration and lighting conditions.
The buyer is responsible for providing a correct and complete shipping address and for collecting the parcel upon delivery.
Professional packaging with protective materials and double-box shipping will be provided to ensure safe transport.

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.
