Description from the seller
This wall clock is part of the Italian/European production of design home furnishings from the late 1970s to the 1980s, a period characterized by Space Age aesthetics and the early currents of Pop Postmodernism.
Main Features
Brand and Collection: The dial bears the Artime logo, a brand active in creating clocks and decorative objects with a modern and experimental taste between the 70s and 80s.
Design and Form:
The outer case features a dome/hemispherical, bulging shape in glossy molded plastic/ABS (pale white/ivory color), typical of Space Age style.
The central dial has a flower-shaped or stylized daisy silhouette in black contrast, with geometric hands (white and red for the seconds) and a red central pin.
Movement: Quartz operation (usually powered by a classic AA 1.5V battery on the back).
Historical and Stylistic Context
Space Age/Pop Art Style: The soft lines, bulbous, rounded shapes, and stark color contrasts (white/black with red accents) are emblematic elements of industrial design of that era.
Materials: Structure in molded plastic, lightweight but visually impactful, designed to create a focal point on interior walls of that era.
Shipping to the United States is not available.
