The object, clearly visible in the photo, stands out with its large oval dial with a hammered gold finish, enhanced by a patinated gold metal structure. The dial features clear black Arabic numerals and a central inscription \"INOTIME\" as well as \"17 RUBIS ANTICHOC\" (17 JEWELS SHOCKPROOF) at the bottom, indicating a quality mechanical movement. The hands, also in a gold tone, accentuate the vintage and refined appearance of the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall shape is distinctive, with two cylindrical gold elements positioned at the top and bottom of the dial, serving as feet and upper trim, giving the alarm clock a decidedly retro look. The surface of the dial features a regular hammered pattern, adding texture and depth to the piece. No additional decoration is visible on the front face, which highlights the elegant sobriety of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe general style is in the tradition of mid-century mechanical alarm clocks, with a strong Art Deco inspiration in the lines and gilding. The object is placed on a blue and gold upholstered bench, but only the alarm clock is concerned by the advertisement. The gilding shows some visible signs of wear, particularly on the edges, which accentuates its vintage authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mirror and furniture elements visible in the background are not part of the item for sale. Only the front face of the alarm clock is visible; no details about the back or the rear mechanism can be described. The mention \"17 rubies antichoc\" (17 jewels shockproof) confirms the presence of a traditional mechanical movement, prized for its robustness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is, untested.
