Réveil mécanique Diamond à double cloche, fabriqué en Chine, datant des années 1960–1970, boîtier en métal avec cadran crème et deux cloches chromées, dimensions environ 12 × 9 × 6 cm.
Résumé assisté par IA
Description fournie par le vendeur
Offered is an original vintage Diamond mechanical twin bell alarm clock, made in China and bearing the characteristic Diamond branding on the dial.
The clock has a highly distinctive retro design, with a rectangular rounded case, large twin chrome bells, arched carrying handle, cream coloured dial, bold black Arabic numerals, red central details and a black stepped pedestal base. The combination of chrome, black and cream gives the clock a strong Mid Century / Space Age vintage aesthetic.
Identification and provenance
The Diamond (Zuanshi) brand is associated with Chinese clock production in Shanghai. Comparable Diamond mechanical alarm clocks are documented by Catawiki and specialist vintage sellers as Shanghai made pieces dating broadly from the 1960s to the 1970s, with some related examples extending into the 1970s–1980s.
A comparable Diamond twin bell model is specifically described as a mechanical Diamond alarm clock made in Shanghai, China, circa 1970–1980, with dimensions of approximately 12 × 8.5 × 5.5 cm.
The present clock has the same distinctive Diamond styling, twin bell construction and “MADE IN CHINA” marking visible on the clock, making it highly consistent with this group of Chinese Diamond mechanical alarm clocks.
Details
• Brand: Diamond
• Origin: China, associated with Shanghai production
• Period: Mid to late 20th century, likely 1960s–1970s
• Type: Mechanical twin bell alarm clock
• Movement: Manual wind-up mechanical movement
• Dial: Cream with large black Arabic numerals
• Twin chrome alarm bells
• Chrome coloured front surround
• Black case and pedestal base

Diamond Shanghai mechanical alarm clocks are actively traded by vintage dealers and have also appeared on Catawiki. Comparable examples have achieved auction results ranging from approximately €23 to €60, while Catawiki estimates for better-presented examples have reached €130–€230.
Condition
The clock has authentic vintage wear and patina consistent with its age. The chrome bells and surround show oxidation, tarnishing and surface marks, while the black case and base have scratches and signs of use. The dial and glass also show age-related yellowing and minor surface imperfections.
The condition is clearly documented in the photographs and contributes to its genuine vintage appearance.
The mechanical movement and alarm have not been independently tested, so no guarantee is given regarding timekeeping accuracy or alarm operation.
The exact clock shown in the photographs is the clock offered in this auction.
A particularly attractive piece for collectors of vintage Chinese clocks, Diamond/Shanghai timepieces, Mid Century Modern, Space Age design and mechanical alarm clocks.
