AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered is a distinctive ALBOR analogue quartz desk clock featuring an integrated day and date calendar, dating stylistically to the 1970s–1980s.
The clock has a striking retro Space Age design, with a rectangular black case, metallic silver upper section and three original adjustment controls on the top. The front combines a traditional analogue quartz clock with two large calendar windows displaying the day of the week and date.
The dial is marked ALBOR and QUARTZ. The analogue dial features large Arabic numerals and contrasting hands, giving the clock excellent legibility while retaining its characteristic period aesthetic.
The combination of the substantial rectangular case, metallic finish and mechanical flip-style day and date displays makes this an unusual decorative and functional desk clock.

Seller's Story
I curate objects with a past and a pulse.
Every piece I offer has been chosen with a sharp eye, respect for craftsmanship, and an instinct for what endures.
I work with care, honesty, and attention to detail: from accurate descriptions to secure packaging and prompt shipping. What you see is what you receive, always.
Some items come from private collections, others from unexpected places, but all share one thing: they deserve a second life with someone who knows how to appreciate them.
If you’re looking for character over clutter, story over trend, and transactions that feel human rather than mechanical;
you’re in the right place.
Welcome. Browse slowly. The right object has a way of finding you.
