Hello Steemit

Over the last week I have been out and about looking for what I see as eye catching items to buy, Today I decided I would travel out of town to check to see what i could find.

This clock was one thing that caught my eye but i remember i had to glance at it twice before i picked it up. I dont really know much about it but really like the retro watch look it has, plus the quality of the workmanship looks high.

I paid £10 for it.

The maker is KIENZLE AUTOMATIC GERMANY the whole clock is metal and very heavy for the size, it has a quality steel gold plated base with a brass back with a very eye catching gun steel blue bezel and clean white face, The clock is like new but at a guess i would say it could be 1960's.

I had a little look on ebay and found some similar with the same base back and logo for £100 upto £500.
Its something i will keep as i like it : )

Let me know if you would like to see anymore photos of the clock and i will be happy to post some more. Keep your eye out for other cool items i find each day.

Sort:  

Simple, crisp, clean lines. You wouldn't guess it was 50 years old. Understated quality, I zoomed in the pic and wasn't disappointed.

Thanks buddy , Honest it looks better than the photos shows, I should take a few more : ) I've been doing some upcycling/diy this month they keepme busy : )

The devil makes work for idle hands ;)
[apparently] LOL
