Description from the seller

German Kienzle Clock – Mid-Century Modern – Table Clock, 1960s
Key Features (Details)
• Brand: Kienzle
• Model/Type: Table clock
• Country of Origin: Germany ("Made in Germany" marked at the bottom of the dial)
• Period: Mid-Century Modern (approx. 1960–1970)
• Materials: Wooden case with visible natural grain, brass bezel, metal rear mechanism housing
• Dimensions: (Please specify Height × Width × Depth in centimeters)
• Function: Mechanical, manual-wind, with an integrated alarm function
An authentic German clock from the renowned watchmaker Kienzle, a quintessential example of the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. The piece stands out for its clean, minimalist geometric design and the high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of the era.
• Design & Materials: Features a rectangular solid-wood case with a prominent natural grain. The dial has a soft metallic/satin finish, gold-toned brass hands, slender hour markers, and is protected by a crystal set within a brass bezel. It rests on two small brass feet at the front.
• Functions: It features a dual mechanism (for timekeeping and alarm/wake-up functions), with the necessary winding keys and adjustment knobs located on the back.
• Aesthetic condition: Very good vintage condition. The wooden casing is sturdy, featuring a natural patina and minor surface wear/discoloration on the top right corner and along the edges—signs consistent with its age. The glass crystal and brass elements are in excellent condition.
• Functional condition: The mechanism is complete, including all adjustment components (time-setting knob, winding key, and +/- adjustment lever). The clock is sold as a collectible item in "as-found" condition, without any recent accuracy testing or servicing.
The clock is sold in "as-found" condition. While the mechanism appears complete and functional, it is recommended to have it inspected or adjusted, as its timekeeping accuracy has not been recently tested.
It shows signs of wear consistent with its age. The photographs are part of the description.
It will be shipped in secure packaging.
