AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful table or desktop weather station with a faceted cube shape, swiveling on its base. Made in West Germany (W. Germany) by the renowned brand Caracciola, this object is a magnificent testament to Mid-Century Modern design of the 1960s–1970s, recalling the luxury watchmaking creations of the same era.
The cube turns smoothly on a circular weighted foot. It houses several precise analog measuring instruments framed in gold brass:
• A hygrometer (which indicates humidity, with the word "Normal").
• A thermometer (temperature measurement).
• A barometer (to be confirmed according to your other faces: indicates variations in atmospheric pressure).
The entire case and base is elegantly clad in a black leather-look coating, enhanced with tonal topstitching along the edges, giving it a chic, masculine, timeless look.
Condition:
• Aesthetics: Very good overall condition. The black leather/synthetic leather coating is clean and well preserved; the seams are intact. The gold-brass rims and the dials’ glass show a nice shine with only minimal signs of use consistent with its age.
• Mechanical: The instruments are functional and respond to environmental variations. The cube’s rotation mechanism is smooth and fluid.
Dimensions (approx.):
• Height: 16 cm
• Cube width/depth: [To be completed, 13 cm × 13 cm]
An ideal vintage collectible for adding to the decoration of a desk, a library, or other surfaces.
