Old JAZ table clock to restore, raised numeral dial, vintage decor

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description This antique table alarm clock, signed JAZ, features a classic round silhouette typical of French brand models from the mid-20th century. The case has a patinated metallic finish, with visible signs of wear on the crown and rim, attesting to its age and vintage authenticity. Two buttons and an adjustment knob are positioned on the upper part, according to the traditional ergonomics of mechanical alarm clocks.

The dial displays large embossed gold-colored numerals, contrasting with a light background now marked by time. The hands, one of which appears to be original, are baton-style, with a central seconds hand and a small secondary dial for the alarm. The inscription "JAZ" in capital letters is also visible in the center, just above the numeral 6, an emblematic signature of the brand.

The slightly domed protective glass shows traces of oxidation and marks on the rim of the case. The whole rests on two small feet visible at the front, ensuring good stability on a bedside table or shelf. The overall design evokes French productions from the 1940s to the 1960s, with a utilitarian and robust aesthetic.

On the lower part of the dial, there is an original inscription in small characters, typical of models manufactured by the Compagnie Industrielle de Mécanique Horlogère. The general condition of the alarm clock, marked by a pronounced patina, reinforces its decorative and retro character.

This JAZ table alarm clock is a fine example of French utilitarian watchmaking, ideal for vintage decoration or for restoration. Its presence immediately evokes the atmosphere of old interiors and everyday objects of the 20th century.
