The moulded case has a distinctive oval profile with softly rounded edges. Rather than simply framing the mechanism, it creates a compact sculptural volume that projects gently from the wall. Its vivid orange finish is characteristic of the period, when synthetic materials and saturated colours transformed functional domestic objects into visually distinctive elements of the interior.

The black dial creates a strong contrast with the case. Oversized white numerals, rounded typography and a dotted minute track establish a playful graphic rhythm, while the slim metallic bezel provides a precise transition between the face and the plastic shell.

The clock is fully functional and presented in excellent vintage condition. Minor traces of dust are visible inside the dial. The apparent irregularities visible on the dial in some photographs are caused by reflections from the photographic lighting and are not defects.

with its compact dimensions and strong graphic identity, the piece works equally well as a functional wall clock or as a colourful accent within a collection of 1970s and Space Age design.
