Object description

Case and Construction

The travel alarm clock consists of a two-part rectangular case finished in horizontally brushed silver-coloured metal. The narrow sides of the case are accented in gold-coloured metal.

The design relies on a slide mechanism where the two halves of the case pull apart horizontally. This motion reveals the internally mounted round clock module. The clock module is framed by a ribbed gold-coloured ring, which remains visible only when the housing is in the extended position.

  • “centrally placed round clock module with ribbed gold-coloured ring emerges between the case halves”

Dial and Function

The dial is rendered in a gold colour and features applied baton indices for the hour markers. A minute track is positioned on the outer ring of the dial. Time is indicated by black baton-style hands.

Setting of the time is performed via a gold-coloured crown located on the narrow side of the case. The auction description confirms the object is equipped with a quartz movement and reports that the movement is currently running.
