Description from the seller

Table clock "Tulip" Tokyo Tokei – Space Age Style – Japan, 1970s
Description:
a magnificent and iconic table alarm clock produced in Japan by Tokyo Tokei during the Space Age era (the 1970s). This model, often referred to as "Tulip" or "Tulipano" for the fluid shape of its stand, represents a true icon of retro-futuristic design of that decade. The design is characterized by a perfectly spherical chrome metal case, suspended on an elegant open-ring base. The real highlight of this piece is the spectacular emerald-green, color-shifting dial with a soleil effect, which creates unique metallic reflections depending on the light. The three-dimensional golden and geometric indices, together with baton-style hands with luminescent inserts, emphasize the space-age aesthetic of the era.
