Description from the seller

Alessi - Michael Graves - Table Clock / Mantle "Time Keeper" model 08 - Pearwood - 1988/1991

Rare and iconic table clock / mantel model "Time Keeper" (Art. 08), designed by the famous architect and postmodern designer Michael Graves for Alessi Clocks (project started in 1988 and produced from 1991).

The front cylindrical drum houses the circular dial with Arabic numerals embossed on the rim and black hands, signed Alessi and bearing Michael Graves' initials.
