Distinctive vintage Space Age wall clock by Ritz / Ritz-Italora, manufactured in Italy around the late 1960s–1970s.
The design combines a sculptural cream-coloured circular plastic case with a dark brown dial, oversized ochre numerals and contrasting white hands. A narrow chrome trim frames the dial, emphasizing the clock's rounded profile and graphic composition.
The unusually large numerals at the cardinal positions give the clock a strong Pop-inspired character, reflecting the experimental visual language of Italian domestic design during the period.
The reverse retains its original Ritz retail price label, marked 13,500 Italian lire, together with Italian operating instructions. The clock is fitted with a later replacement battery-operated movement.
Very good vintage condition with scattered surface marks, minor oxidation and age-related wear to the chrome trim.
Dimensions: 22.5 cm diameter × 7 cm depth.
An expressive example of Italian Space Age design, combining functional simplicity with bold typography and sculptural form. This piece has an attribution mark,
