ABOUT PRODUCTID 1531
This travel clock, produced in Germany at the turn of the 20th century by HAU (later Junghans), is a testament to early modernist craftsmanship. Its rectangular brass case, softly rounded at the edges and finished in a warm, golden-yellow hue, has been polished to a reflective sheen; gentle patina and minor surface marks are visible, adding authenticity and a sense of age. The dial, crafted from subtly textured paper in a matching golden tone with a gradient effect, features crisp black Arabic numerals and minute markers behind a convex glass cover. A smaller subsidiary dial for the integrated alarm sits above the center, with classic black hour and minute hands and a lighter alarm hand providing clarity. A fixed, gracefully curved brass handle crowns the top, underscoring the piece's portable nature. The construction is robust, with visible screws and low feet at the base, and the original manufacturer's signature is present on the dial. The clock is in good condition for its age, showing only minor signs of use and natural patina, without significant damage or restoration. This clock carries the spirit of an era when travel embodied progress and mastery over time. Its warm brass gleam evokes mornings illuminated by soft light, when the punctual chime of the alarm marked the start of each day; subtle patina and gentle wear bear silent witness to past journeys and daily rituals. Despite its compact scale, the clock seems to recount stories of its own – of hands winding it before departure, of quiet anticipation before a journey, and of moments when time was both companion and guide. Within an interior, this clock may be displayed on a sideboard or desk in the living room, where its historic character stands out among classic books, maps, or other collector
