This is a beautiful and highly sought-after vintage mechanical alarm clock made by the esteemed German manufacturer, Europa. This Mid-Century Modern (MCM) novelty clock is designed to resemble a miniature armillary sphere or celestial globe.
Key Features:
 • Manufacturer: Europa, Made in Germany (Mid-20th Century, circa 1950s-1970s).
 • Movement: Mechanical wind-up with 7 Jewels (a desirable, higher-grade movement for Europa travel clocks).
 • Design: Features a swivelling brass outer ring engraved with the 12 Zodiac signs and an inner dark blue celestial sphere.
 • Construction: The case is a combination of brass and brass-plated steel.
Condition— IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Condition is "UNTESTED."
 • Functionality: The clock has not been tested to confirm if it runs, keeps time, or if the alarm function works. As a seller, I could not get the clock to tick by winding the keys on the back, so it is being sold as UNTESTED due to a lack of professional expertise.
 ◦ It may need a simple adjustment, or it may require a full service (cleaning and oiling) to run properly, which is common for vintage mechanical clocks.
 • Aesthetics/Patina: The brass case has a heavy, natural patina and verdigris (greenish oxidation) in the recesses of the zodiac ring, consistent with its vintage age.
 • Celestial Globe: The dark blue/black globe section shows signs of wear, including flaking of the original gold or white star markings.
