Description from the seller
Vintage Space Age Wall Clock – Juwelier Hörl Augsburg (1970s Gold & Brass Edition)
in excellent working condition - no reserve
Up for sale is a rare, authentic handmade unique Space Age wall clock originally created as an exclusive display prototype by the prestigious German jeweler Juwelier Hörl Augsburg.
This sophisticated mid-century modernist timepiece features a square face constructed from a quadrant layout of four grain-brushed gold tone metal sheets, altering direction to beautifully catch the light. The dial is defined by a floating, translucent smoked brown plexiglass or acrylic ring.
Instead of numbers, the hours are represented by twelve raised, highly polished cylindrical brass studs, creating a brilliant three-dimensional effect typical of 1970s European pop art design objects.
Specifications
• Design Era: 1970s Space Age
• Origin: Juwelier Hörl Augsburg (Germany)
• Dimensions: 24.0 cm x 24.0 cm x 3.0 cm
• Weight: 500 grams
• Movement: Fitted with a new, silent and reliable quartz clockwork (battery operated).
Condition & Details
• Cosmetics: Excellent pre-loved condition. The brushed gold face and polished brass index studs maintain a beautiful reflection. The reverse side features its textured yellow backing paint and shows minor age-related vintage character, completely hidden when hung. Note that the 6 o'clock stud has a distinct variant finish, an intentional detail showing its unique design prototype heritage.
• Authenticity: Retains its original jeweler prototype stock code label ("VK") on the reverse side.
• Functionality: Fully tested and running perfectly on a fresh AA battery.
Item will be packed with professional care using heavy-duty protection to ensure a safe delivery.
