It is an exterior model with contrasting clock dial and thick hands, so it is visible from great distance. Otherwise the dial is very simple designed, the number on 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.

9,5 cm frame is made of Bakelite. Clock face is covered with glass. Clock is converted into a battery-powered clockwork working on just 1 x AA battery. It operates 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
