A large and wonderfully characterful antique alarm clock mounted on its original wooden pedestal, dating to 1903 and attributed to Gebrüder Junghans, as documented by a matching example in the period manufacturer’s catalogue. The movement bears the Junghans maker’s mark, confirming its authenticity.
This piece beautifully captures the elegance of early 20th-century design, combining practical engineering with decorative presence. The clock is housed within a metal frame supported by twin columns and set on a shaped wooden stand. A stop-chime control is positioned at the bottom of the case. The silver-colored front dial features large Arabic numerals, a small seconds hand, and an alarm indicator.

Caveats:
The wooden stand shows subtle signs of restoration. The dial has some minor abrasions.
The item is in working order. However, since this is an antique, it is being sold with no guarantee of accuracy.
Condition:
The clock shows honest age-related patina consistent with its period, particularly to the brass rear plate and metal components, adding to its character and authenticity. The dial remains clear and legible. The wooden base retains its deep color and gloss.
