quartz table clock, presents a sculptural and avant-garde design, combining industrial materials with a minimalist aesthetic. Its structure is composed of a wooden base, on which multiple chromed steel tubes of different heights are arranged, generating a dynamic and architectural effect. The mechanism case, made of brass with an aged finish, gives it an industrial and artisanal character.
The quartz movement is from the prestigious Kienzle brand, a German company recognized for its precision and quality in watchmaking since the 19th century. The dial is minimalist, without numbering, the steel hands reinforce the industrial character of the design.
design attribution
Due to its geometric lines, the use of industrial materials and the aesthetics close to brutalism and late modernism, this watch can be associated with the style of Josef Hoffmann, Max Bill, or even designs inspired by the Bauhaus and the industrial design movement of the 70s-80s. However, the lack of author's marks makes accurate attribution difficult.
If it is a mass production piece or a limited edition, it is possible that it was designed by a German or Swiss design studio linked to Kienzle in the 80s. It also recalls certain designs by the Italian Giorgio Scarpa,
