Goldbühl Musical Alarm Clock – Emerald Green Glitter Dial, West Germany 1960s/70s

A jewel of West German design — the Goldbühl Laterna musical alarm clock in vivid emerald green with a deep green glitter dial. 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.

The emerald glitter dial shimmers with an almost organic depth — like light filtering through a forest canopy — framed by bold white Arabic numerals on a black ground. Every viewing angle reveals a different quality of the glitter, shifting from deep forest green to bright lime as the light changes. The case is moulded in emerald green plastic with a crackle-mosaic surface pattern, giving the whole object a tactile, sculptural quality.

When 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.
