ABOUT PRODUCTID 2377
The Ruhla Electric wall clock embodies 1970s German design, where a brutalist aesthetic is articulated through the interplay of steel and brass. Its construction features a black, powder-coated steel frame forming a sunburst motif with twelve elongated, pointed rays and delicate, curved accents between them, evoking the image of a solar rosette. The central dial showcases a hammered metal surface with an organic, honeycomb-like texture, set in a deep, matte dark brown tone that contrasts with the golden brass highlights on the hands, hour markers, and the encircling rim. The hour markers and wide, geometric hands seamlessly integrate into the composition, emphasizing the minimalist essence of the design. The original electric mechanism functions reliably and the piece bears the Ruhla manufacturer's mark. The clock measures 35 cm in diameter. Condition is very good – only minor patina consistent with age, with no significant signs of damage or wear. This clock tells the story of the 1970s, an era when the expressive power of raw materials and sculptural forms defined the spirit of interior design. Its brutalist vocabulary, tactile textures, and rhythmic sunburst arrangement evoke the mood of a time unafraid of bold statements. The metallic surface draws the eye with its depth, while the brass accents catch and reflect the light, creating subtle glimmers around the dial – a brief narrative of industrial inspiration and geometric fascination. It is an object that seems to say: "Time passes, yet form and function can coexist with artistic expression." The Ruhla clock could be paired with mid
