SEIKO Quartz vintage chrome metal alarm clock, Roman numerals

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Table alarm clock or small clock from the brand SEIKO, with a quartz movement, presented in a chrome-plated metallic finish casing, with a shiny, silver-like appearance. The casing has a rectangular shape, with rounded corners and wavy lines in slight relief on the front face, giving the whole an elegant and timeless aesthetic. The visible surface shows a homogeneous patina, punctuated by oxidation spots and signs of aging characteristic of vintage treated metal objects.

The round dial, protected by transparent glass, displays black Roman numerals on a white background, for a clear and classic time reading. The hands, in a simple and tapered style, are black for hours and minutes, while the central second hand is gold. The mention "SEIKO" is clearly legible in the center of the dial, just below the XII position, and the word "QUARTZ" appears at the bottom, above the number VI. The indication "JAPAN" is also visible at the base of the dial.

This SEIKO table alarm clock captivates with its blend of classic sobriety and subtle decorative details. The contrast between the brilliance of the casing and the clarity of the dial highlights the readability and functional elegance of the object. The ensemble evokes SEIKO productions from the 1980s to 1990s, typical of vintage Japanese aesthetics combining precision and discreet refinement.

The front face, the only part visible in the photo, shows no buttons or controls. The back, the bottom, or any additional inscriptions are not visible and cannot be described here. The small clock rests on a flat base, offering good stability for use on a desk, bedside table, or shelf.

The casing shows visible signs of wear: micro-scratches, oxidation spots, and alterations to the chrome surface, indicating prior use. These marks, common on this type of old object, contribute to its authenticity and retro charm.

Condition

Used item, sold as is with visible wear on the chrome surface (spots, oxidation points, scratches). Functionality not tested based on visible elements.

Did you know? The Japanese brand SEIKO is a pioneer in quartz watchmaking: it launched the first quartz wristwatch in 1969, revolutionizing the precision and democratization of watch movements. SEIKO quartz small clocks and alarm clocks from the 1970s-1990s are renowned for their reliability and sober design, often associated with chrome or gold metallic finishes.
