Mint 1960s Danish Modern Wall Clock

Over the next few weeks, Gotcha Modern! will offer a number of wall clocks from the 1950s and 60s. 

Whether battery-powered or wind-up, a vintage clock serves a wonderful dual purpose:  not only does it provide a neat mid-century statement to your decor, it also tells time - kind a of quaint notion in our uber-connected society where mobile phones have rendered watches and clocks somewhat passe.

Gotcha Modern!, of course, resists such urges to do away with more traditional methods to keeping time.  Every good home needs a prominent wall or shelf clockm, and this clock is more than up to the challenge.

What a wonderful design to this Danish modern clock.  Manufactured by Welby and battery-powered, the clock features diamond-shaped walnut accents affixed at the end of brass rods extending from the back of the clock.  The face of the clock is also brass.  The walnut brown contrasts beautifully with the gold tone of the brass.

The best thing about the clock?  It looks like it just came out of the box.  Mint condition, which is understandably rare for a 40-year old piece.

29" high, 17" wide, and 2 1/2" deep.

Works well, and is ready to hang.

SOLD.  Thanks, Stephanie @ Chicago!
