A Mid-Century Travel Companion This is a classic mechanical travel alarm clock by the renowned German brand, EUROPA. Popular between the 1950s and 1970s, it was designed for the elegant traveler, cleverly folding into a protective leather-textured case.
Mechanical Precision The dial proudly bears the "2 JEWELS" mark, indicating a movement fitted with two synthetic rubies. This structural detail reduces friction, making it more durable and precise than standard alarm clocks of its time.
Aesthetic & Condition
-
Classic Design: Features a brass bezel framing a creamy white dial with nostalgic Arabic numerals. The hands carry luminous accents (though the glow may have faded with time).
-
The Beauty of Age: The exterior is clad in a dark (black/dark brown) pebbled leatherette. We must highlight that the back of the movement and hinges show visible rust and signs of heavy use.
-
Authentic Patina: We view these traces of oxidation not as flaws, but as "honest wear"—a beautiful patina that suggests this clock has traveled miles and witnessed countless mornings in different cities.
