Mid-Century Swiss Gilt Brass & Lapis Lazuli Swiza 8 Day Alarm Clock, 1960s

1960s Swiza 8 Mechanical Alarm Clock in Gilt Brass and Lapis Lazuli

A striking mid-century Swiss timepiece by Swiza, dating from the 1960s, distinguished by its elegant cylindrical form and luxurious combination of gilt brass and deep blue lapis lazuli. The rich blue dial provides a dramatic contrast against the warm golden tones of the case, complemented by refined gold-tone hands, minimalist hour markers and the signature Swiza 8 detailing.

The sculptural silhouette and considered use of contrasting materials give this clock a strong decorative presence, making it as much a statement design object as a functional timepiece. A sophisticated example of mid-century Swiss design, ideal for a desk, bedside table or curated interior, where its jewel-like palette and distinctive form can be appreciated.

A particularly characterful piece for collectors of mid-century clocks and decorative objects.

Dimensions: H 12 × Ø 6.5 cm
