About the Item

Vintage traditional alarm clock. Manufactured by Junghans Company in Germany, circa 1960 In original condition with minor wear consistent of age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Junghans Uhren GmbH is a German watch and clock manufacturer. The company is located in the district of Rottweil, in a town called Schramberg, Baden-Wrttemberg, southwest Germany. The company began to produce wristwatches in 1927, and over the following decades created clocks and watches for the civilian market and the German air force. Beginning in the 1950s, the Bauhaus-trained designer Max Bill created products for the firm, notably the teardrop-shaped “Kitchen Clock with Timer”, which can be found in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, and followed by a series of watches, the first of which launched in 1961. The relationship between Junghans and Bill lasted many years, and the company has continued to release new models based on his work. Many of the firm’s best-selling watches today are based on those designed by Bill.
