Goldbühl Musical Alarm Clock – Silver Glitter Dial, Black Egg, West Germany 1960s/70s

A jewel of West German design — the Goldbühl Laterna musical alarm clock in deep black with a dazzling silver 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 silver glitter dial catches and scatters light like crushed diamonds, creating a starburst effect that radiates outward against a deep black ground. Bold white Arabic numerals sit at each hour position, clean and legible against the glittering field. The case is moulded in black 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.
