Produced in Germany by Hermle in the 1960s, this piece stands out with its elongated, architectural silhouette and balanced proportions.

The horizontal form, with its wing-like extensions and softly curved top, creates a strong visual presence while remaining elegant and restrained. The warm-toned wood veneer, with its rich grain, contrasts subtly with the light dial surround, giving the clock depth and refinement.

At the center, a recessed dial framed by a cream chapter ring and delicate gold-tone markers draws the eye inward. The original angular hands enhance the graphic, almost minimalist composition, making the piece feel both timeless and distinctly modernist.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the clock houses a quality German mechanical movement (model 150-010), key-wound with dual arbors for time and strike—an enduring example of Hermle craftsmanship.

This is not just a timepiece, but a sculptural object—ideal as a focal point in a curated interior, whether mid-century, contemporary, or eclectic.
