Atlanta 6124/6 Classic Kitchen Clock
The Retro Wave
Our watch of the week is an Atlanta kitchen timer in a 1950s look. Read more now about the retro wave and the style of our timer.
The term retro wave refers to a fashion wave whose content is a backward-looking style. The term retro is marked in many areas by appearances that draw on older traditions or characteristics.
The term is also a popular term in fashion for the aesthetic return to the vocabulary of forms from past eras or periods. It therefore describes a cultural phenomenon that does not produce works of art or cultural achievements in general on the basis of currently prevailing style codes or current aesthetic concepts, nor as their creative further developments or as original new creations, but rather by drawing on concepts or styles from past eras.
The term retro is used as a fashion term both on its own and in compound forms such as retro style, retro model, or retro design.
Retro has been a trend for quite some time. Retro fashions can currently be found in almost all areas that can be shaped by fashion processes: from everyday objects to clothing and architecture, and on to literature and music. Nevertheless, the phenomenon is not a new one, but only a new, fashionable name for an old phenomenon.
The Retro Watch Atlanta 6124/6
Our watch of the week, the Atlanta 6124/6, also takes up this retro aspect. The kitchen clock is the perfect fit for a 1950s-style kitchen!
The wall clock has a large white dial with black Arabic numerals and hands. At the same time, it comes with a timer. This timer is located below the time display and can count up to 60 minutes. On the timer's dial, there is a red hand for adjusting the timer. The casing of the kitchen clock is kept in a light green tone and already looks heavily worn, which reinforces the impression of a retro clock.
The style of this kitchen clock is therefore exactly in the 50’s look, because both the design and the integrated timer very much match the iconic decade. An absolute eye-catcher, not just for retro fans!
