Its rounded silhouette, set on a flared base, evokes the utilitarian style of vintage mechanical alarm clocks. The circular dial features large, dark Arabic numerals, clearly legible despite a noticeable patina and significant wear marks across the entire surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe front of the alarm clock reveals a weathered visual finish, with shades of beige, cream, and touches of brown oxidation, particularly visible on the base and around the perimeter. The main hands, in a classic style, are still present: the dark-colored hour hand and the elongated minute hand stand out clearly. A small additional hand, probably for the alarm, is also visible, sporting a green hue with a red detail at its base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial also features a central graduated circle for alarm settings and golden circular markers for each hour, although much of the original decor is altered by moisture stains, spots, and paint loss. No protective glass is visible in the photo. The SMI logo or brand does not distinctly appear on this face, but the object matches the description provided in the keywords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall aesthetic is distinctly retro, with signs of age and corrosion, particularly on the base and around the dial. The general structure remains stable, and the domed shape of the case is consistent with the trend of bedside alarm clocks from the 1940s to the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis table alarm clock, to be restored, is a fine example of old domestic watchmaking, ideal for vintage decor or a restoration project. The surface has an authentic patina, highlighting the historical character of the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is, with numerous signs of wear, stains, paint chips, oxidation, and visible imperfections on the dial and base.
