About the Item

A striking German Mid-Century wall-mounted clock from the 1970s, masterfully crafted by Kienzle Uhren. This clock stands out for its bold, sculptural form, featuring a textured matte brown ceramic glaze and geometric circle cut-outs. Designed in a Brutalist/Minimalist style, the clock transcends a simple timepiece to become a work of wall art. It exemplifies a design philosophy that celebrates material texture and raw form, creating a powerful presence on any wall. The piece is in original working condition, a testament to the enduring quality of its German engineering. In original working condition with some visible wear consistent with its age and normal use, this clock is both a functional object and a collectible piece of art. More to the Story... Kienzle Uhren, founded in 1822, is one of Germany's oldest and most historically significant clock manufacturers, a company celebrated for its quality, innovation, and timeless design. In the 1970s, a period when Kienzle was a market leader, the company embraced the Brutalist aesthetic, which had begun in architecture as a reaction against the polished, perfect surfaces of earlier modernism. This clock is a perfect example of that stylistic shift. Rather than a smooth, refined surface, it showcases a raw, heavily textured matte ceramic finish that speaks to the honesty of its materials. The bold, sculptural form, with its simple cut-outs, transforms a functional object into a piece of art that commands attention. It embodies the powerful blend of artistry and precision engineering that made Kienzle a titan of German industrial design.
