Description from the seller

Vintage Hedy Watch Desk Clock “Wedge Monolith” – 1960s – 17-Jewel Incabloc Mechanical Movement with Date – Pristine / Like New Condition

DESCRIPTION
We are offering an authentic gem of 1960s horology and interior design: a splendid, monobloc Hedy Watch table clock, conceived with a strong sculptural and geometric character.
The piece is formed from a single finely satin-finished wedge-shaped block in brushed gold-tone finish, designed with a precisely calculated angle to command attention on a desk and make the time immediately easy to read. A perfect balance between the era’s Brutalist architecture and the refined precision of Swiss mechanical watchmaking.

The Dial Aesthetic & Mechanical Heart
Sunburst Dial: Silver/champagne-colored face with sunburst reflections, raised applied geometric markers, gold Arabic numerals at the quarter hours (12, 6, 9), and a convenient date window at 3 o’clock.

Mechanical Movement: Hand-wound Swiss 17-jewel caliber with an exceptionally robust and clean architecture.
Period Protections: Fitted with an Incabloc shock-protection device on the balance, a non-extensible spring, and anti-magnetic protection.

Condition
The clock is in exceptionally well-preserved condition, a rarity for desk clocks over 50 years old:
Dial and Case: Immaculate dial with no spotting or oxidation; the case’s satin finish retains its vivid, crisp original gold-tone texture.

Mechanics: The movement has been inspected and removed from its housing for verification: the escapement, bridges, and gear train are perfectly clean and bright, with no trace of rust or old residue.
Operation: Running perfectly, keeps accurate time, winds smoothly, and the date changes flawlessly.
Video of the clock in operation available on request

A piece with a striking presence, ideal both for completing an executive office and for adding to a collection of vintage timepieces with iconic design.

Buyers are invited to read the entire listing carefully. The accompanying photographs form an integral and overriding part of the description: they accurately show the item’s actual cosmetic condition and details that words alone cannot fully convey.
As these are antique and vintage timepieces, the clocks are sold in their existing condition (“as seen and liked”). Although tested and fully functional at the time of sale, water resistance and timekeeping accuracy equivalent to those of a modern watch are not guaranteed; periodic servicing by the buyer may therefore be advisable or necessary.
Thank you for your interest, and happy bidding.

The Seller Tells Their Story

De Carli Curated Gallery – Where the Past Becomes Elegance
Welcome to De Carli Curated Gallery, a place where time stands still and elegance spans the ages. Here, every object is more than just a collectible: it is a story, a fragment of life, an emotion brought back to life.
Our mission is clear and passionate: to bring the hidden value of the past to light, rediscovering forgotten masterpieces, restoring their original splendor, and offering them to those who recognize timeless beauty.

We carefully select items that are rare, authentic, and unique. Each piece tells of skilled hands, precious materials, and eras that have left their mark.
In the world of luxury vintage, time does not wear things down: it elevates them. The quality of the workmanship, the refinement of the details, and the iconic brands make these objects investments of value—not only economic, but also emotional and aesthetic.
Every creation captures the charm of an era, yet speaks to the present in a distinctive and fascinating voice.
Our collection embraces art, design, and elegance in all their forms: from period furnishings to mid-century pieces, from Art Deco to contemporary expression, and on to jewelry, accessories, and the most unexpected objects. For us, vintage is not a trend but a philosophy: celebrating what has endured over time, becoming a symbol of style and authenticity.

We work with the most illustrious names in luxury and design: Cartier, Hermès, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Celine, Longines… alongside works of art by twentieth-century masters such as De Chirico, Vedova, Guttuso, Pomodoro, and Wolf Ferrari. They are joined by the genius of acclaimed design: Le Corbusier, Herman Miller, Artemide, Cassina, and many others.
