ABOUT PRODUCTID 15916
This electric desk clock by Mauthe, dating from the 1950s, offers a quintessential example of German modernism, encapsulating mid-century ideals through precise geometry and a thoughtful interplay of industrial materials. The body is crafted from satin-finished aluminum in a cool silver tone, lending the piece a linear, subtly brushed texture that highlights its minimalist composition. The rectangular case, with balanced proportions, is fronted by a clear glass panel protecting the dial. Hours are indicated by three-dimensional, polished metallic cubes instead of numerals—these sculptural accents cast reflections and depth across the face, reinforcing the clock’s modernist intent. Black printed index markers and two bold horizontal lines traverse the dial, complemented by simple matte hands for high clarity against the bright backdrop. The piece rests on a solid wood base with visible natural grain, introducing a warm counterpoint to the otherwise cool metal. Its components—glass, aluminum, and wood—are preserved in very good condition, with only minor traces of patina and use consistent with a well-cared-for vintage object. This clock seems to channel the orderly spirit of the 1950s, when clarity, rationality, and geometric discipline sought to bring structure to daily life without unnecessary embellishment. The hour cubes appear to float above the dial like rhythmic notes on a score, while the restrained form speaks to the era’s fascination with industrial optimism and precise construction. The coolness of the aluminum is offset when illuminated, as the light softly plays across its surfaces and the glass accentuates crisp contours—an echo of past decades brought into focus. Such a clock would suit a home office desk or could be paired with a modern side table in the living room, or
