Description from the seller

Vintage Space Age Wall Clock – Juwelier Hörl Augsburg (1970s Amber Yellow 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 striking collector's piece features a bold, geometric layout that perfectly captures late 20th-century European interior experimentation. The design showcases an elegant grain-brushed stainless steel front plate framed by dark-finished wooden sides. Instead of traditional numbers, the hours are represented by twelve vibrant, swirling amber-yellow cabochons.

Each yellow dome is set within a raised, dark metallic textured pentagonal border connected by horizontal track elements, creating a brilliant, layered three-dimensional pop art effect.

Specifications
• Design Era: 1970s Space Age
• Origin: Juwelier Hörl Augsburg (Germany)
• Dimensions: app 23.5 cm x 23.5 cm x 4.5 cm
• Weight: app 850 grams

Condition & Details
• Cosmetics: Excellent pre-loved condition. The brushed stainless steel surface and polished metallic borders maintain a beautiful luster with only minor, age-appropriate wear. All twelve amber-yellow cabochons are entirely intact with no chips or cracks.
• Authenticity: Retains its original jeweler prototype labels on the reverse side: the primary corporate label showing "HÖRL D-8900 Augsburg 22", the hand-written stock reference number "3406", and the collection code sticker "VK".
• 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.
