AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Villeroy & Boch signed desk clock, vintage style, with quartz movement. The object takes the form of a faceted transparent block, revealing a depth effect and play of light, typical of decorative creations from the mid to late 20th century. The front features a round dial with a midnight blue background, surrounded by a golden trim and golden Roman numerals, giving the whole an elegant and timeless look.

The structure of the block is geometrically cut, with sharp edges and flat surfaces that capture and reflect light. This finish evokes a modern design, while recalling certain crystal or thick glass decorative objects popular in the 70s-80s. The dial is well-centered, with the visible inscription "Villeroy & Boch" at the top and "QUARTZ" at the bottom, attesting to its battery-powered mechanism.

The base of the block is encircled by a black band, probably made of fabric or synthetic material, which contrasts with the transparency of the rest of the object and ensures good stability on a desk or shelf. No details are visible on the other sides, only the front is shown in the photo.

The dial features three classic hands (hours, minutes, seconds), allowing for precise time reading. The quality of execution, the brand's signature, and the meticulous design make this clock a refined decorative object for professional or home environments. The whole exudes sobriety and elegance, true to Villeroy & Boch's aesthetic.
