Vintage Space Age Wall Clock – Juwelier Hörl Augsburg, Germany, 1970s
In excellent condition – No reserve.

A rare and authentic handmade Space Age wall clock, originally created as a unique exclusive display piece for the prestigious German jeweller Juwelier Hörl, Augsburg.

This striking 1970s design combines bold geometric forms with vibrant colours and high-end materials. The clock features twelve beautiful luminous yellow marbled glass cabochons, each individually mounted in a circular brass-toned setting. These are integrated into an intricate geometric grid of brass and brushed metal accents, surrounding a warm brown central wooden dial.

The combination of sculptural geometry, rich materials and vibrant yellow glass gives this clock a distinctive Space Age aesthetic. A true eye-catcher and a unique collector's piece, it is particularly appealing to enthusiasts of Mid-Century Modern and 1970s design.

Originally produced as a handmade display piece for Juwelier Hörl in Augsburg, this clock represents the creative approach to bespoke interior objects and decorative design that characterised the era. The 1970s Space Age movement embraced futuristic shapes, bold colours and unconventional materials, transforming everyday objects into striking decorative statements.
