Estyma — German Design for the Home

Estyma was a German brand name used by department stores during the 1960s and 70s, with clocks produced under the name by various German manufacturers including Schatz. Sold primarily in the German domestic market with some pieces exported abroad, Estyma clocks are a genuine slice of West German mid-century design — decorative, well-made, and squarely of their era. This particular piece, with its bold sunburst construction and faux wood detailing, is a good example of the style that made these clocks popular for department store customers seeking a striking, affordable statement piece for the home.

Rays, wood grain, and dagger hands

The design radiates outward with a strong graphic rhythm — twelve gold-tone metal rays, each finished in a two-tone silver and gold treatment, frame twelve individual circular discs printed with a convincing wood grain effect and bold Roman numerals. At the centre, a larger matching wood-effect disc carries the Estyma signature. The original dagger-style hands have been retained — a genuinely striking design choice, with their bold tapered form standing out clearly against the busy dial. New German UTS quartz movement has been fitted, keeping the original character intact while making the clock reliably functional.

At 12.5 inches across, this is a well-proportioned sunburst — big enough to make a real visual statement without needing wall space reserved for an oversized piece.
