Vintage retro advertising wall clock Fischer Alsace, square, beer brewery

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Square advertising wall clock, featuring a retro design typical of brewery promotional items. The dial is covered with a glass- or lacquer-like surface, with a central illustration depicting a young boy in traditional Alsatian costume, sitting on a beer barrel bearing the inscription "ALSACE". The child raises a large glass of beer, an emblematic scene associated with the brewing world. The inscription "Fischer" appears prominently in stylized letters, confirming the origin of the item and its promotional use for the Alsatian beer brand Fischer.

The dial's background is light gray, embellished with subtle dark blue graphic patterns and small red dots marking the hours. The hands, visible in red and black, contrast sharply with the background for good readability. The outer edge of the dial is highlighted by a dark blue frame, slightly patinated at some corners, indicating previous use. No numbers are present, with the exception of the Roman numeral "VI" at the bottom of the dial to mark 6 o'clock.

The advertising decor, typography, and graphic style evoke a late 20th-century production, in the spirit of the 80s-90s, a period when this type of clock was frequently used in bars, cafés, and restaurants to promote regional brands. The whole presents a strong decorative aspect, faithful to the aesthetics of vintage brewery items.

The visible face does not show any mechanism or hanging elements, which are probably located on the back (not visible in the photo). The general condition shows some traces of wear or micro-scratches on the perimeter, consistent with previous wall use, with no major apparent defects on the illustrated surface.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The clock shows visible signs of wear on the frame, particularly on the corners, and some discreet marks on the front surface. The inscriptions and illustration remain clear and legible. No information on the mechanical function is provided by the photo.

Did you know? Fischer Brewery, founded in 1821 in Schiltigheim, near Strasbourg, is one of the oldest in Alsace. Its advertising objects, like this clock, have become emblematic of the regional brewing world and are sought after for their typical design and their reference to Alsatian heritage.
