This double-sided industrial clock by Pragotron, manufactured in Czechoslovakia in the 1980s, exemplifies the modernist utilitarian design of the Eastern Bloc. The square case is crafted from metal with a matte, dark gray finish and a subtly textured surface. The dial features a light, off-white background with bold black hour and minute markers, while thick, rectangular hands reinforce legibility. Mounted on two cylindrical metal rods connected by a horizontal bar, the clock is designed for ceiling suspension. Exposed screws and visible joinery highlight its industrial heritage. The original mechanism has been replaced with a modern quartz movement powered by AA batteries, making the clock suitable for contemporary use without specialized power sources. The clock is preserved in very good condition, with a clean surface free of dents or corrosion, showing only minimal signs of use characteristic for vintage items.The form of this clock tells a story of an era paced by factories, stations, and a daily routine ruled by clarity and order. Pragotron speaks the language of functionalism: geometric proportions, the austerity of metal, and the clarity of the dial are not just aesthetic choices but a declaration of the logic of its time. In an industrial twilight, the clock seems to echo the history of factory halls and silent waiting rooms, where every minute carried weight.In a contemporary interior, the Pragotron clock can be paired with minimalist furniture, concrete or brick walls, and raw metal accents, becoming a striking focal point in a loft or modern living area. It would work well over a dining table, in a tall entryway, or an office—especially alongside graphic artworks from the 1970s and 1980s or surrounded by potted plants to soften its industrial edge. It is worth combining with technical lighting or industrial-inspired lamps to emphasize authenticity and a cohesive arrangement.
