AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A highly decorative and iconic Dutch table clock in a streamlined Art Deco style, produced around 1950. This beloved model was designed by Johannes Bosma and Willem Uithol for the clock factory AWU (Albert Willem Uithol).
The clock is entirely made of brass and copper. The centerpiece is the beautifully stylized, leaping gazelle (springbok) that flanks the round dial. The dark dial features the AWU trademark, elegant brass hands, and prominent hour markers in the form of stars and stylized Arabic numerals (3, 6, 9, 12).
On the back, the clock bears an authentic, historical shop sticker from "Horlogerie Hubert Herps – Leenderweg 27, Eindhoven". The clock is equipped with the original electric movement and the original wiring with plug.
