AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original and charming mid-century era desk alarm clock, with a highly creative design that imitates the structure of a classic garden or Parisian porch streetlamp. A piece full of retro charm and great decorative value.
Main features:
Design and Structure: Made in gold-colored metal (brass) with twisted rod supports and a four-legged base elegantly curved. It features a canopy or top hood and a small white lower platform with festooned edging. The clock itself hangs suspended at the center as if it were a lantern.
Dial: Clean, legible dial with stylized Arabic numerals at the main hours (12, 3, 6, 9) and slender hands. The dial bears the maker's mark (Western Germany).
Mechanism: Manual-wind mechanical movement with alarm function. On the back, the regulators, winding butterflies, and the origin inscription ("Germany") are clearly visible.
Era: Mid-20th century (circa 1950–1960).
Condition: Generally good, with the original patina of time that enhances its vintage authenticity. (Note: As it is an antique mechanism, it may require a small adjustment or maintenance for optimal long-term operation).
