Description from the seller

This 1970s electronic clock from the Micro brand, made of brass, embodies that kind of vintage design that does not seek to draw attention with loudness, but with a geometric elegance very typical of the era. Its trapezoidal silhouette, slightly tilted forward, gives it a discreet yet firm sculptural presence, as if it were designed to coexist with furniture with clean lines and warm materials of seventies interior design.

The brass, with its soft golden shine, brings an air of domestic sophistication: it is not ostentatious gold, but a warm tone that ages with dignity and that enhances the purity of the design. The thin, well-proportioned metal legs elevate the clock’s body and give it visual lightness, almost as if it floated above the surface where it sits.

The dial, white and minimalist, features stylized hour markers in gold, reduced to the essentials: fine lines, four highlighted cardinal points, and slender hands that reinforce the modern aesthetic. That combination of graphic simplicity and noble materials is very representative of electronic clocks of the decade, when technology began to integrate into everyday objects without sacrificing design.

Taken together, it is a piece that blends functionality, modernity, and retro charm. A clock that not only tells the time but also adds character, history, and a touch of seventies design to any space.

Tracked shipping and secure packaging.
