Really cool vintage wall clock from Yugoslav manufacturer Gorenje.
It's made of transparent violet plexi glass frame metallic face and a glass face cover.
It is battery operated and therefore convenient, elegant and a modern piece dated back to the late 1970's.
Gorenje, [like Iskra] is still a successful company today is one of the great brands of Yugoslavia, producing high-quality, well-designed household items, which were almost unknown to the rest of the world until recently.
This is a classic Yugoslav nostalgia piece, with its great design and excellent quality. As noted by Prof. Jonathan Woodham, much of socialist design was written-out of 20th Century design, despite is absolutely relevant innovation and quality. As time has passed since 1989, more and more interest in this "hidden" design culture is emerging. The more you see and learn about it, the more you like and want it.

Shipping costs are sometimes a burden, but that's what makes Etsy tick:
- Overage of $2 or more will always be refunded.
- Combined shipping is very unpredictable, please ask for quote
- I try to use as much recycled packaging as possible, for reasons well known. Let me know if it's a gift. I'll give it a comfy home for the journey ;)
