JAZ Electric EK222C Wall Clock – Day & Date Calendar (Italian) – Floating Balance – NOS Boxed – France 1970s Elegant JAZ Electric wall clock with day and date calendar, produced in France during the early 1970s. This model represents a fine example of French domestic industrial design, combining functional clarity with the warm colour palette typical of the decade. The clock features a clean white dial with large black Arabic numerals, offering excellent readability and a strong graphic presence. The typography and layout reflect the functional design language of European modernism during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The mustard yellow plastic bezel gives the clock a distinctive retro character, a colour strongly associated with the Space Age and modern kitchen aesthetics of the period. The slightly domed plastic crystal softens the overall profile and enhances the visual depth of the dial. Below the 12 o’clock position are two calendar windows displaying the day of the week and the date. The day wheel is in Italian, showing the days of the week such as Lunedì, Martedì, Mercoledì, Giovedì, Venerdì, etc. Inside the clock is the JAZ Electric EK222C movement, an electromechanical floating balance system powered by battery. This technology, widely used by Jaz before the quartz era, represents an important transitional stage in the development of battery-powered clocks. The present example is NOS (New Old Stock) and is offered exactly as shown in the photographs. The movement has been fully tested, and the timekeeping as well as the day and date mechanisms function correctly.
