AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Collection of desk clocks

1. Classic wooden clock (Left): It is an elegant mantel or desk clock with manual winding, made by the well-known Spanish brand Radiant. This clock only runs the clock. The gong needs repair. But if you wind it, the clock works perfectly

2. This is a vintage anniversary clock by Kern, manufactured in West Germany (generally around the 1950s and 1960s). It is a mechanical model with a torsion pendulum (the four gold spheres at the bottom that rotate slowly from left to right instead of swinging side to side). This type of piece is popularly known as "400-day clocks" because its sophisticated mechanism allows it to run for more than a full year on a single winding.

This clock starts up but is very sensitive and stops after 2 minutes.

3. The item in the image is a vintage Swiza 8 desk alarm clock, an iconic piece of Swiss clockmaking produced mid-20th century (roughly in the 1960s)

Main features:

Design: It features an elegant cylindrical or tubular body made of golden brass, combined with a striking textured finish that imitates green malachite both on the dial and on the top.

Mechanism: It features the famous manual-winding Swiss 8-day movement (hence the number "8" inscribed on its dial beneath the brand name Swiza).

Functions: In addition to telling the time with gold hands and markers, it includes an alarm function. Its usual height is around 12 centimeters.

This clock runs perfectly

The clocks show signs of age visible in the photos: dirt and stains
