Original Rhythm quartz movement, fully working, ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe octagonal frame gives this clock a strong architectural presence — the eight-sided form is a direct expression of the bold geometric design language of 1980s postmodern interiors, sitting naturally alongside Memphis-era styling, eclectic maximalist décor, and contemporary spaces that want a genuine period piece rather than a reproduction. The contrasting black centre dial and seconds sub-dial add a refined layering of detail that rewards a closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 27 cm (10½ inches) wide it is a versatile size — strong enough to read across a room but compact enough to work on a gallery wall, kitchen, hallway, or office without dominating the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Rhythm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRhythm was founded in Japan in 1950 and grew to become the world's largest clock manufacturer by production volume — a precision clockmaking giant that sits alongside Seiko and Citizen in Japan's horological heritage, with a formal brand partnership with Citizen. Rhythm clocks of this era are known for their reliable movements and considered design. Rhythm closed their US operations in 2025, making genuine vintage examples increasingly sought after by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRhythm — Made in Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4MG708\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1980s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass-tone octagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoman numerals with seconds sub-dial, black centre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 cm (10½ inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal Rhythm quartz — fully working\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePostmodern, Memphis era, geometric retro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGood vintage condition.
