This expressive table clock by the German brand Schmid is a characteristic object of the 1970s and exemplifies the brutalist design language of that period. Its architectural design, characterised by clear geometries and a deliberately constructive aesthetic, gives the clock a sculptural presence that goes far beyond its functional purpose.

The metal case resembles miniature architecture: austere, rhythmically structured and at the same time supported by precision craftsmanship. The contrasting blue dial adds a striking accent and underlines the design's ambition to create an exciting balance between function and form. The clock asserts itself not as a casual accessory, but as a deliberately placed object in the room.

Such designs reflect the creative impulse of the 1970s to imbue everyday objects with an independent, almost monumental design language. Today, they are particularly prized by collectors who seek objects that combine zeitgeist, materiality and design consistency.
