Made by Fichter KG under the Goldbühl tradename, this egg-shaped mechanical alarm clock is one of the most collectible timepieces of the 1960s–70s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cobalt blue glitter dial pulses with an almost galactic depth — deep, dark and intensely blue at the centre, fading to black at the outer edge like a night sky seen from space. Bold cream Arabic numerals orbit the dial, luminous against the dark ground. The case is moulded in blue plastic with a crackle-mosaic surface pattern, giving the whole object a tactile, sculptural quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the alarm triggers, the musical mechanism plays a melodic chime — a charming and entirely unexpected feature that elevates this well beyond a standard vintage alarm clock. This example is in exceptional near-new condition: the mechanism runs cleanly, the alarm sets and releases correctly, and the musical function works perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGoldbühl (tradename of Fichter KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMovement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMechanical wind-up with musical alarm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMusic\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMusical chime plays on alarm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTextured blue plastic, egg form\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 x 10 x 7.5cm (5 x 4 x 3 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWest Germany, c.1960s–70s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNear-new, fully working including musical alarm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree tracked delivery across the UK.
