Post General's Retro Bispham Wall Clock - Core77

This handsome Bispham Wall Clock is by Post General, a Japanese manufacturer of Western-inspired vintage-style products.

The secondhand sweeps, so there is no ticking noise. The selected font is pleasingly retro, if culturally peculiar; it's not American, nor German, nor Swiss in appearance. Visually it reminds me of Japan's postwar manufacturing renaissance, when they began producing their take on Western-inspired goods. luxury metal antique clock

My only criticism: The housing is steel, but you can tell by the stamping at the perimeter--which to my eye has a few returns too many--just how thin the steel must be, to require that number of structural reinforcements. From some angles the clock looks great, from others, it recalls a plastic storage bin lid.

The clock comes in three colors and retails for ¥5,940 (USD $40).
