This Memphis-style clock from Germany, dating to the 1980s, features a glossy, vivid red plastic body and plexiglass construction. A wide, circular bezel frames the piece, giving it a strong, graphic rhythm, while the black face contrasts with bold, red hour markers and hands, complemented by a central orange-red disc at the axis. The construction is compact, with no visible fasteners on the front, emphasizing the design’s minimalist, modernist character. The clock runs on a quartz movement for accuracy and stands upright, stabilized by an internal weight. The surface is smooth and shiny, reflecting light and enhancing the intensity of the color. The diameter is 15 cm, depth 3.5 cm. The piece is preserved in very good vintage condition, free from visible signs of use, cracks, or discoloration.This clock resonates with the spirit of the 1980s and the postmodern Memphis revolution—a manifesto of color, shape, and playfulness. The geometric, emphatic form could tell a story of an era when design abandoned severity, becoming a bold graphic statement instead. The red surfaces reflect light almost theatrically, while the thick hands and markers evoke graphic posters of the time. This object does not conceal its origins—it celebrates contrast and simplicity in the spirit of Italian Memphis, executed with German precision.The clock may be placed on a low shelf in a living room, where it serves as a color accent among more subdued accessories. It pairs well with lacquered surfaces, geometric vases, or minimalist prints. Mid-century modern, eclectic collector interiors, or contemporary offices provide a natural backdrop for such design—it is worth pairing with other objects of striking form to highlight the
