Description from the seller
Vintage Space Age Graphic Wall Clock – Juwelier Hörl Augsburg (1970s Prototype)
Up for sale is a rare, authentic handmade unique Space Age wall clock originally created as an exclusive boutique display prototype for the prestigious German jeweler Juwelier Hörl Augsburg. This is a truly unique design object that is nowhere to be found online.
This eye-catching piece showcases the definitive experimental traits of late 20th-century European Op-Art design. Built on a square wooden base, the face features a rich burgundy-red grain finish layered with a striking, pixelated step-geometric pattern in natural wood tones.
The dial is defined by a raised circular track housing twelve polished, square stainless steel indices that serve as three-dimensional hour markers. Minimalist white hands and a vivid red seconds hand complete this highly graphic pop art statement piece.
Specifications
• Design Era: 1970s Space Age / Op-Art
• Origin: Juwelier Hörl Augsburg (Germany)
• Dimensions: Approx. 27.0 cm x 28.0 cm x 4.0 cm
• Weight: Approx. 1.5 kg

Condition & Details

It features the hand-written stock reference number "3473", a vintage price tag in German Marks ("DM 23.80"), and an official German customs ink stamp from the Hauptzollamt Augsburg (Augsburg Central Customs Office) verifying its prototype testing history.
• 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.
