Small Chambord miniature mechanical alarm clock – Brass, gilt – West Germany – 1950s/1960s

Elegant small mechanical table or bedside clock from the Chambord brand, made in West Germany (West Germany) around the 1950s-1960s.

This miniature model stands out for its round brass case with a gold finish, topped with a bell and a carrying handle. Its compact proportions and decorative details give it a particularly refined character.

The cream dial features large black Roman numerals, complemented by an outer minute track with Arabic numerals. The decorative-styled hands, with their original luminescent elements, provide an interesting contrast to the dial.

In terms of size, materials, and aesthetics, this alarm clock constitutes a decorative piece representative of mid-20th-century German clockmaking.
