A great modernist aesthetic to it. Very clean, like you say.
I had a red, wind-up clock during my childhood, and a blue one, which my father gave me. I forget what happened to the blue one...But the red one, I recall, broke from metal-fatigue or something. HOW, I have no idea.
All I recall was that one day, I was winding up the bell-spring, and then...CRACK! BANG!!
and the clock wouldn't run no more...I was so upset.
My interest in vintage stuff piqued my interest in these old clocks again, and I decided it'd be neat to have one on my desk or bedside table again. I picked that one because it had a nice outer case (It's a sort of tan brown colour) and the dial is clear and simple and easy to read, but without being boring.
Tony, would you recommend any kind of maintenance for these clocks? Do they need dusting or oiling or anything? Or "so long as they keep the right time" is all I need to know and do?

Can you post a picture of the box? I'd love to see that.
For a quarter (25 cents) My first.
