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.
