Citizen - Alarm Four Hands - No reserve price - Men - 1950-1959

CITIZEN Alarm Four Hands – a classic Japanese mechanical alarm clock from the 1960s.

Citizen Alarm Four Hands is an elegant, less commonly seen model with a mechanical alarm, distinguished by its two-tone dial, gold indices, and characteristic two crowns. This example has preserved the full, original 1960s aesthetic, and its greatest asset is the pure vintage form and functioning alarm complication.


Collector's note
The Citizen Alarm Four Hands models are among the most recognizable alarms produced by Citizen in the 1960s — they were Japan's response to Swiss alarms Vulcain and Enicar. The mechanism with an alarm, two crowns, and a classic two-tone dial make them highly sought after by vintage collectors today. Versions marked 17 Jewels Parashock belong to earlier and more valued editions, and the original dial style with patina emphasizes the authenticity of the era.
