挂钟 - FFR 中世纪现代 玻璃, Formica - 1950-1960 - Atomic Age 7-Day Chime

FFR Atomic Age 7-Day Wall Clock – Mid-Century Modern Design
An outstanding example of European Mid-Century design, this FFR mechanical wall clock combines elegant proportions, architectural lines, and traditional clockmaking craftsmanship in a striking decorative object.
The distinctive case is crafted in black and red Formica, featuring a softly curved square silhouette that perfectly reflects the optimistic design language of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The large convex glass crystal, brass bezel, luminous chapter ring, and sculptural gilt hands create a bold visual presence while maintaining remarkable simplicity and balance.
Behind the elegant exterior lies a substantial twin-barrel mechanical movement with an impressive 7-day power reserve. The movement strikes both the hours and half-hours and showcases the robust engineering and reliability associated with quality European clock production of the period.
The clock is presented in good vintage condition with expected signs of age and use consistent with its period. The case, dial, glass and movement remain well preserved, with no cracks, chips, repairs or structural damage observed. The movement has been inspected, cleaned, tested and is fully functional. The clock comes complete with its original winding key.
Photographs of the mechanism are included, illustrating the sophisticated brass construction, dual mainspring barrels, strike train and hammer assembly.
