Nickeled Wall Clock by Kienzle | Mid-Century Modern, 1960s

A vintage nickeled wall clock in Mid-Century Modern style by Kienzle, made in Germany.

Pure Mid-Century clarity. A functional wall object defined by restrained form, balanced proportions and a calm graphic presence.

Designed by Kienzle, one of Germany’s oldest and most established clock manufacturers, founded in 1822, this wall clock reflects the brand’s longstanding commitment to precision and functional design. The clock features a sleek rectangular metal body with a nickel finish, combined with matte black side panels. A silvered figure ring with engraved black hour markers and black nickeled hands with fine detailing creates a clear, balanced and highly legible composition.

Marked “Kienzle Automatic” and “Made in Germany” on the dial, this piece represents the longstanding tradition of German clockmaking associated with the Kienzle brand.

This model appears in the 1966 Kienzle catalogue, while a wooden variation of the same design is documented in Kienzle’s historical records, underscoring its place within the company’s mid-century design output.
