ABOUT PRODUCTID 17195
This desk clock from the 1970s, produced in Weimar (former GDR), exemplifies the Space Age movement within modernist design. The compact, nearly cylindrical body measures 16 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter, crafted from smooth, cream-beige plastic with a matte finish. The front is defined by a glossy black ring framing the dial—a precise accent that highlights the clock's geometric round shape and contrasts with the warmth of the housing. The face features a satin-black background with bold white numerals and distinctive German lettering arranged radially, while white hands ensure legibility. A short black rectangular neck, set on a sturdy square base, supports the form and emphasizes the clarity of its silhouette. The clock runs on an original R14 battery mechanism, with details and proportions that are faithful to the era.The minimalist construction conveys an idea of progress as imagined in the 1970s—geometric precision and synthetic materiality evoke a future-oriented vision, where function meets visual discipline. The juxtaposition of matte and glossy surfaces mirrors the interplay of light and shadow typical of Space Age objects. Clear contours suggest a sense of temporal focus, as if the clock gathers and organizes time within the boundaries of its crisp circle.This clock can stand alone on a low console, desk or shelf in a living area, displaying its collectible nature. It may be combined with accessories featuring black, white, or metallic finishes—steel or chrome elements will enhance the graphic geometry. Surrounded by wooden
