Kienzle Wall Clock | Mid-Century Modern, Mid-20th century

A vintage wall clock by Kienzle in a clear Mid-Century Modern design with a minimalist expression, produced in Germany during the mid-20th century.

Quietly graphic and well balanced, the design brings a sense of order and calm that feels both functional and timeless.

Clean and architectural in character, the clock features a rectangular silver-tone body with matte black sides and a circular dial marked with silver hour indices and slender black hands. The restrained palette and clean geometry highlight the clarity of the design, while the solid construction reflects the quality associated with the long-standing craftsmanship of Kienzle Uhren GmbH, Germany’s oldest watchmaker, founded in 1822. The design is attributed to the Danish designer Heinrich (Henrik) Möller and is considered highly collectible due to its rarity and distinctive character.
The piece bears the original Kienzle markings, confirming its origin and manufacture. 

Its understated form and balanced proportions make it as suitable for contemporary interiors as for vintage collections.
