This is a model in a dark brown design with a contrasting clock dial and distinctive hands. The dial is very simply designed, the numbers of the classic dials were abstracted to bold five minutes marks and the only other thing on the dial is the typical triangular logo of the brand. The frame is made of bakelite, the metal dial is covered with glass.

The clock have been refurbished and it is now battery-powered by 1 x AA batteries, it functions as an independent wall clock.
The minute hand moves every second on the new clockwork, making the clock very quiet. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
