Wall clock - Philips - Contemporary Plastic - 1980-1990 - Philips wall clock

Vintage wall clock produced by the famous Dutch brand Philips in the 1980s.

This piece is a perfect example of postmodern design of that decade, greatly influenced by the visual boldness of the Memphis movement. The clock features a minimalist matte black round dial that brilliantly highlights its geometric hands in vivid primary colors: the hour hand is red, the minute hand yellow and the second hand electric blue, all articulated around a coordinated blue central pivot. Time is subtly distilled thanks to four red/orange marker lines at quarter hours (12, 3, 6, 9).
At the base of the dial, beneath the 6 o'clock mark, there is the silk-screened inscription “West Germany”, indicating it was made in West Germany before reunification.

Its clean and timeless aesthetic will add a decidedly retro, graphic and modernist touch to any contemporary interior.
