eBay watch: 1970s modernist wall clock

Modernist

Very distinctive and very much of its era – this 1970s modernist wall clock.

Produced by the London Clock Company, it has a futuristic 1970s look, aided by a face that's 'industrial brushed' plated sheet metal, with cube markers made of matt black plastic. There's also a German mechanism inside to keep it ticking over (alongside a single battery).

The seller claims it is in 'excellent condition' and 'good accurate working order', although the bottom left hand corner has a 'tiny impact dent' that is 'barely visible at all'. Fancy it? Bidding stands at £12.95.

Tu midcentury-style Dark Wood Flower Wall Clock at Sainsbury’s

Sains_clock

Better-known for grocery shopping, Sainsbury's has a home section too, with one or two interesting finds amongst it, including this Tu midcentury-style Dark Wood Flower Wall Clock.

There's a touch of the George Nelson about it, or at the very least, a 1950s or early '60s feel. If that's the look your after, this is great value. 35cm in diameter, it has that dark wood construction with contrasting hands, able to wall mount easily, as you probably guessed.

Powered by a single AA battery, you can grab one online for just £18.

Braun ABK 31 modernist-inspired wall clock

Braun

A stunning design from the 1980s, but this Braun ABK 31 wall clock probably owes more to the 1930s for inspiration.

It's a stunning, modernist-inspired wall clock, produced in 1985, the work of Dietrich Lubs under the design directorship of Dieter Rams. In terms of detail, it has an off-white face, glossy red bezel and a matt grey body, with the numerals adding that modernist touch.

Battery powered and in 'excellent' condition, the current price is £50.
