This PRIM alarm clock from Czechoslovakia, dated to the 1960s or 70s, exemplifies the functionalist ethos and mid-century modern character of its era. Its construction features a chrome-plated steel case with a reflective, light-catching surface, supported by compact metal legs. The face is finished in a warm off-white, protected by a domed glass cover, and displays large, high-contrast black Arabic numerals alongside bold black hands and precise minute markers. Subtle green luminescent dots are positioned at each hour, ensuring nighttime legibility. A minimalist cylindrical alarm button sits atop the case. The mechanical wind-up movement, valued for its reliability, preserves original scripts and the 'Made in Czechoslovakia' logo, all clearly visible on the dial. Slight tarnishing and gentle surface abrasions attest to its vintage authenticity without compromising its structure. Overall, the clock is in very good condition, displaying only modest signs of use and retaining all original components.The clock brings to mind a time when Czechoslovak designers crafted everyday objects with clarity and purpose. It tells a story of an era devoted to honest materials and accessible design—nothing excessive, just straightforward readability and functional precision. The silvery chrome softly reflects ambient light, while the assertive black numerals and hands echo the daily rhythms of a household. For decades, its discreet ticking and domed glass have gently marked new beginnings, whispering of lasting value in simplicity and reliability.The PRIM alarm clock pairs well with other retro metallic accents or can stand alone atop a console, desk or bedside table in a space inspired by mid-century modern. It works harmoniously
