The German wall clock by Karl Diekl from the 1960s is a testament to the disciplined ethos of mid-century modern design. Its body is crafted from satin-finished brass in a warm golden-brown hue, paired with a glass ring that elegantly floats around the circular dial. The square frame with gently rounded corners gives the form a soft outline, while the three-dimensional brass hour markers, projecting from the transparent glass, lend the clock architectural depth. The hands, also in brass, feature a minimalist, geometric silhouette typical of the era. All components are original and well-preserved, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or tarnish. The clock is powered by an R14 battery and remains fully functional. It is in very good condition, presenting as authentic and well-cared-for. This clock channels the narrative of postwar German modernism, where material honesty and form took center stage, and subtle refinement was meant to unify function with visual character. The satin brass surface reflects light with a gentle sheen, evoking the ambiance of the 1960s when geometric forms set the tone for domestic interiors and timekeeping became part of the daily rhythm. The spatial hour markers and minimalist hands echo an era where precision met restraint—the clock quietly suggests a sense of ordered harmony, ready to mark the hours in a new setting. The Karl Diekl clock would suit a living room styled in mid-century modern fashion, but it can also be paired with minimalist light wood
