About the Item

Charming early 20th century novelty clock in the shape of an owl, likely originating from the Black Forest region in Germany. Expertly hand-carved from dark-stained wood, this whimsical piece is characterized by its large expressive eyes, which function as the clock's time indicators—left for hours, right for minutes. A rare and playful timepiece with undeniable character. The clock is in good working condition and keeps accurate time. Please note: the alarm function is no longer present. Mechanically intact otherwise, and a wonderful example of early German craftsmanship and novelty design. Dimensions: Height: 9.05 in. (23 cm) Width: 4.33 in. (11 cm) Depth: 4.33 in.
