This freestanding table clock by Prim, produced in 1960s Czechoslovakia, is a reflection of Central European modernist sensibilities and a fascination with new materials and geometric clarity. The body and legs are crafted from clear, high-gloss plexiglass, emphasizing the technical proficiency of the era, while the round face in deep maroon contrasts with elongated white markers and slim white hands. Its prominent semi-circular side handle serves as a striking, playful accent, accentuating the clock’s distinctly futuristic mid-century profile. Fitted with a precise quartz movement powered by one AA battery, the mechanism is easily accessible from the back. The clock retains its original manufacturer's label and presents without visible damage, discoloration, or restoration—excellently preserved vintage condition.The clock’s form speaks with the vocabulary of 1960s modernism, where new plastics transformed ordinary objects into light, sculptural elements. The transparency of the plexiglass seems to let the dial hover, as if time itself gains a new, almost weightless quality. The contrasting palette and crisp geometry capture the era’s spirit of optimism, reflecting the search for harmony between utility, art and technology that defined mid-century interiors.This clock may be displayed atop a light wood console or a modernist sideboard, fitting comfortably into both mid-century modern and eclectic collector spaces. Surrounded by accents in chrome, glass, or colored plastic, it evokes its vintage roots. The piece would work well in an office, living room, or any setting inspired by the mid-20th century—its sculptural profile offering counterpoint to soft textiles, minimalist lighting or clean-lined graphics.No additional technical information or maintenance guidance supplied. Clock is powered by a single AA battery (not included).
